The Google Maps API (now branded the Google Maps Platform) is a set of programming interfaces that lets developers embed interactive maps, geocoding, directions, places search, and street view imagery into their own websites and applications. It provides services like the JavaScript Maps API, Directions API, and Places API, billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. It's used extensively by developers building location-based apps, from ride-sharing and delivery services to real estate and travel platforms.
