I have been struggling to find a solution for this after numerous searches. I am looking for a web service or API or something that will allow me to fetch smoothed NEXRAD (Weather Radar) data for the United States and display it on a Google Map. I have only been able to find non-commercial or pure (not smoothed) data. The project I am working on is requiring a radar image that is comparable to what you would see through WeatherBug.
Has anyone had any experience with data like this or know any APIs that are avaliable?
I cannot even find a program that can process the raw data from the National Weather Service into smoothed radar images that I could slice up and use in a Google Maps overlay...
Give this a shot. It is what I am using and it works great.
Here is the link to the page where the data is coming from and they offer several other products as well.
http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/ogc/
tileNEX = new google.maps.ImageMapType({
getTileUrl: function(tile, zoom) {
return "http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cache/tile.py/1.0.0/nexrad-n0q-900913/" + zoom + "/" + tile.x + "/" + tile.y +".png?"+ (new Date()).getTime();
},
tileSize: new google.maps.Size(256, 256),
opacity:0.50,
name : 'NEXRAD',
isPng: true
});
In case you're still looking... http://www.eldoradocountyweather.com/scripts/weather-scripts.php has some good stuff.

I was searching in Google APIs a way to download my map (google.com/mymaps). By downloading a map I mean POIs. I found nothing except the Google mapsengine api, but there are 2 problems:
map id of my map is not suitable for mapsengine api - https://developers.google.com/maps-engine/documentation/reference/v1/maps/getPublished returns 404
maps creation in maps engine is not so easy as it is in my maps.
The problem is my client wants an Android App that shows map he created before. And he wants to create it using google my maps.
Question is there any API that allows me to download that data? Or if there is not - what is the best way to fetch that map?
The only idea that comes to my mind is to download map KML file, but I'd prefer to use REST api if possible.
There is no API for Google MyMaps at this time. Vote up this feature request if you want to see it happen.

I've been using "classic" My Maps because they had API go access all Maps and their data. But recently I have received an email telling me that all maps will be migrated soon to the new "Google Engine Lite" "My Maps". In fact, my apps have stop working because the previous APIs don't work anymore.
I've been looking for the equivalent API for the maps without any luck.
I have a test application that can use OAuth to access my "new" maps. But, when listing maps just those created with the new "Maps Engine" show up. Not any of the "My Maps" do.
It's critical for me to know if there is any equivalent API for the new "My Maps". Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Are there any Seat Map API that's available on the market? We had a crude XML return
from a webservice that gives out available and occupied plane seats. On an ideal scenario, what I thought would be just to map out the return dataset with the Seat Map API and it would give me out a pretty representation (GUI) that we could use.
I searched the net but so far, there's seatguru (seatguru.com) but it doesn't have an API.
It would be hell if I do this from scratch as there are tons of airplane types and it varies from airline to airline.
Hey So after doing allot of searching and thinking about scraping or copy pasting or requesting from each airline directly their seat maps i found one source. lol go figure. Sabre Dev Studios has a new api Take a look at it here https://developer.sabre.com/docs/read/rest_apis/air/search/seat_map

is there any way i could get all the landmark name within some few kilometers of given area. say for example there is a town called Bhatkal (5km in radius), which comes in Karnataka, India. As Bhatkal is just a small town google maps does not store all the geographical data, hence the feasible solution would be to store the nearest landmark's lat,long as listed in Google maps, for that i need to fetch all landmarks name within few kilometer radius, is there any Google Maps Geocoding API that support this? if not is there any alternative?
thank you
I think this is what you're looking for // it looks really cool:

I'm working on a project that requires categorizing content of a given URL. Basically, I want to pass a URL to this API and it will return the category or list of categories based on its content. I think Textwise.com may have this service. Are there other similar services out there?
OpenCalais from Reuters is another such system.
You can also roll your own using open source systems like Gate which will allow you to avoid things like API limits but may require you to train your system appropriately.
You can use SimilarWeb Categorization API.
The API returns a given domain's category based on content analysis and machine learning in XML or JSON.
Some implementation of a similar usage can be found here.
Also:
function api_category(URL, KEY) {
var apiurl = "http://api.similarweb.com/Site/"
+ URL
+ "/v2/category?Format=JSON&UserKey="
+ KEY;
var fetch_category = UrlFetchApp.fetch(apiurl);
Utilities.sleep(2000);
var data = JSON.parse(fetch_category);
return data.Category.replace(/_/g, " "); // convert underscores to spaces
}
CommTouch is also one of the option.
zvelo.com is also an option, if it's for a commercial offering. zvelo has been a Leading provider of content + context categorization services for years. Unmatched URL database.
