Update for Google Maps JavaScript API v3.25+: In v3.25 (current release version) and v3.26 (current experimental version), getPanoramaByLocation() is still available but not documented anymore.

@arthur-clemens's accepted answer still works, but use getPanorama() with a StreetViewLocationRequest instead if you want better compatibility:

var gstService = new google.maps.StreetViewService();

gstService.getPanorama({
    location: new google.maps.LatLng(40.7140, -74.0062),
    source: google.maps.StreetViewSource.OUTDOOR
}, function (data, status) {
    if (status === google.maps.StreetViewStatus.OK) {
        // OK
    } else {
        // error or no results
    }
});

Omit source in the StreetViewLocationRequest if you do not want the panorama search to be limited to outdoor ones.
