You won't be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. 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).
Select Your DataYou can export Location History, Maps (Your Places), My Maps, or all three. Check the box(es) next to the data that you want. For those items offering “Multiple Formats,” click one to view or change the file format for that particular item. When you're ready, click “Next Step.”
The Google Maps API is one of those clever bits of Google technology that helps you take the power of Google Maps and put it directly on your own site. It lets you add relevant content that is useful to your visitors and customise the look and feel of the map to fit with the style of your site.
No. There isn't an API, this time, to get data from the timeline, but the data can be access from takeout by the user. So the only thing you can do is request from the user to upload the JSON(or KML) file of the data.
You can put in your site a url like this: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout/custom/location_history and tell to user to download the json file and upload it.
