Google will be retiring Latitude soon, along with Latitude's API. But they say on their blog that Location History will still be stored and users will be able to access their history on Google Maps' Location History Dashboard. Do you know if there will be any API for receiving that location history, as there was for Google Latitude?

You can choose to automatically delete Location History that's older than 3 months, 18 months, or 36 months.
Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).
Google location history is not accurate 100%, it often goes wrong; if a place is wrong on your Timeline then you can edit the location from your timeline. For more details please visit the link. You can also Improve your location's accuracy on google maps, please visit the link for details.
The API uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model. After you consume all the initial free requests, the charges are 5.00 USD per 1000 hits.
I've discovered that I can dynamically load my location history for any date using the following url:
https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/kml?startTime=1373666400000&endTime=1373752800000
by changing timestamps in "startTime" and "endTime" parameters. Unfortunately it's in .kml and no granularity data is included. Come on, Google - Latitude has some devoted users who relay on it on daily basis, don't kill it :(
