Hi,

I am looking for a programmatic way to find the date of the satellite image for the lat,long coordinate. In the Google Earth desktop application when I go to a specific coordinate, the image date shows at the bottom of the screen. However, I cannot find a way to pull the date of the satellite image using this or other APIs.

For Image Extraction I am using this API

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#Overview
I can easily make url from python to extract the Image.
Can anyone suggest how I can extract the imagery dates.

Thanks

Making popular times available by day of the week would be awesome

It already is Jeffrey, you can toggle by day on mobile or desktop

This would be a valuable enhancement to the platform.

@r22, I think Jeff is referring to the ability to split popular times by day of week in the information released by the API, not the currently existing web GUI.

Maybe the info appears as a nested object? e.g. "popular times" > "day of week" > "hour of day" > traffic count

Can we download image by providing the date, month and year while downloading images from maps static api? I cannot find any way to download images by putting the date information. Kindly help anyone or is there any other method or API from where we can download images by giving date, month or year as a time stamp?

Thanks

Same issue here. Google Earth engine allows me to download images by date depending on the dataset, but Maps Static API does not. This is important to keep track of surface changes through time.

Would be extremely helpful to have access to this data directly via the API. Is it maybe available via another API?

Would be great to see this opened up so we could use it in app development in iOS and Android.

Hi Project Team, any updates? We'd love to use that in our apps and systems. It's a VERY powerful piece of data

Would it violate TOA if a scraper run Google Earth and retrieved the image date based on lat/lng?

an...@gmail.com <an...@gmail.com> #29Apr 11, 2024 01:00AM

waiting to get popular times info from Google Places API

+1 and it’d be cool to have a slider to adjust the date time of the satellite image shown
