Is it possible to add more functions for google map by using Google map API?
For example, I would like to add more indicators including stairs, elevators and etc in Google Map, is it possible?
Besides, I would like to add one more function, let's say create a new route without stairs based on the Google Map API, will it work?
It depends on what you mean.
If you are using Google Maps in your own website/application you can add custom markers/overlay based on your own data. (see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays). You can add markers/overlays for pretty much anything you can think of.
If you mean add it to the usual maps.google.com site, then no you can't as far as I'm aware.
You can't change the API as Google control that, but you can use the API on your site however you like.

how do i get information from this page 'https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/quotas' programmatically, i couldn't find any API service to do this, is there a way to do it?
Currently, this is not possible to achieve, however, there's a feature request to consider having this functionality.
I am working on Google map places API and I am new to this. I created a sample project where I am able to retrieve latitudes and longitudes of nearby restaurants. But now I want to retrieve tattoo shops near by. But "tattoo shops" are not the supported type in google places API. Can some one tell me how to do that. I couldnot find any way of doing it.
Simply use keyword=tattoo+shops rather than type=restaurant in your request.
(I'm assuming you're using Nearby Search in the Google Places API Web Service.)
I want to use Google's Custom Search API to find images using GET request. Like described here. But I don't want to look on images on one specific site, but want to get results like this. How I can do this with the Custom Search API?
Sending this request returns nothing:
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=[MY_KEY]&cx=017576662512468239146:omuauf_lfve&q=some+request&&safe=off&searchType=image&fileType=png. This cx is from google's manual
I must set cx param, but this value links my request to site, specified in cse control panel. However I don't want to limit my results to one site.
According to the documentation here:
Google Custom Search > Overview
Google Custom Search enables you to create a search engine for your website, your blog, or a collection of websites.
It doesn't sound like that is what you are trying to do (you don't seem to want to search a predefined subset of resources).
I'm aware the question is over 6 years old, but better late than never. It's possible to create a Google programmable search engine that can search the entire web for images. When you create a programmable search engine, there is an option to search the entire web instead of just web sites that you specify. See https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/.
As an alternative, you could try Bing Image Search API. There is a limit to the number of image searches you can submit per day for free, but I have rarely hit the limit.
I have a book recommendation project for school, and I want to add a picture for each book. I was thinking I could use a search engine API to return the first result, but I'm having trouble with them:
The Google .NET Api seems to be unsupported
The Bing API
The Flickr Api is well documented and it actually works, but the images on there aren't what I'm looking for
Have you tried http://jpg.to ?
[searchterm].jpg.to
i.e.

I'm developing an application which use map. I'm trying to avoide google API (because their request time are limited).
I want something complete free but can provide feature like geocoding, reserve-geo, find nearest place ...
Any suggestion ?
Have you looked at geonames? They are using googlemaps as well as openstreetmap for the forward and reverse searches. I know openstreetmap can handle everything that you are asking for.
