I have a ton of saved places that appear on my Google Maps - but there is no way to manage, filter or search them. Is there a way to access these locations by API?
I scanned the maps api and can't find any reference. Is there another Google API that makes this available?
Use Google Takeout takeout.google.com/settings/takeout to export your saved/starred locations.
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.
The Places API is a service that returns information about places using HTTP requests. Places are defined within this API as establishments, geographic locations, or prominent points of interest.
There do have a REST API can retrieve the saved places.

There are also api like:
https://www.google.com/bookmarks/find?q=conf&output=xml&num=10000 https://www.google.com/bookmarks/lookup?
But seems like they have been deprecated and most of document are not available anymore. Use them as you own risk.
