Google Maps API - Get URL to address - api

Is there a way in the Google Maps API to create an URL to Google Maps self?

You don't need the API.
Just use

Getting map locations from custom google maps

It's a general question for any programming language that can use google maps api...
Is there a way i can get specific locations provided by web sites that use google maps with their own location marks or location info.
For example yellow pages will offer locations that you won't get if you search for it simply from the official google maps web site.
What if also this website doesn't provide API to parse data from?
For further example , a web site may have a map having all locations of restaurants in Canada for instance so i want to get the same information in this map to import it in my map inside my application.
The sites you are referring to have the address and geocode information in their own database. They send you the data in response to your request and render it on the map in your browser using the client-side script API that google map provides.
If that's the case and the site didn't provide a public data service, then no, you can't get those data using the normal way.

how to get location name if i have latitude and longitude in Yahoo Maps

I am designing a web application which will use Google Maps and Yahoo Maps. But I am searching for yahoo api to get location address using lat and long. Google Api is not working properly. They have very close limitations. Please help me..!
If you haven't already tried, you should use the "Reverse Geocoding (Address Lookup)" feature of the Google Geocoding API.
Details here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#ReverseGeocoding
If you have tried that and aren't satisfied, you should check out Yahoo's Place Finder API. That let's you search for addresses by passing lat/long coordinates. See links below:

Passing lat/long: http://developer.yahoo.com/boss/geo/docs/address-formats.html#latitude-longitude

google map key for gmap v3

i have a question regarding googlemap api version3,
basically we are already using google map api driving distance and geo code functionality within our internal web application, for that we are paying for google on our google map key,
so my question is on old google map v2 we did have to encrypt our map key and post back to google in order to get work geocode or driving distance, and at the same way do we still have to encrypt the google map key with map api V3 ? or we dont need the map key for google map V3 ?
thanks
Taken from: Google Maps API
The Google Maps JavaScript API v3 does not require an API key to
function correctly. However, we strongly encourage you to load the
Maps API using an APIs Console key which allows you to monitor your
application's Maps API usage
