Google Maps has a wonderful Contact Location Sharing feature. Does anyone know if this data is available programmatically? It would would be helpful to have access to mine and my wife's location for things like Home Automation or scripting
As mentioned, you won't be charged for your Google Maps API usage until you turn on auto-billing. The free trial limits you to $300 in credit over 90 days. API users also get $200 of credit per month toward API requests, equal to 100,000 static map requests or around 28,000 dynamic map requests per month.
The Google Maps Platform is a set of APIs and SDKs that allows developers to embed Google Maps into mobile apps and web pages, or to retrieve data from Google Maps.
Shared locations are not available via Google Maps API at the moment. There is a feature request in Google issue tracker for this:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/62938530
You can add star to this feature request to express your interest and subscribe to future notifications from Google.
Unofficial Python library for this that's based on session cookies. Who knows how long that'll last:
