Setting up API keys

If your client application does not use OAuth 2.0, then it must include an API key when it calls an API that's enabled within a Google Cloud Platform project. The application passes this key into all API requests as a key=API_key parameter. To create your application's API key:

  1. Go to the API Console.
  2. From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.
  3. If the APIs & services page isn't already open, open the left side menu and select APIs & services.
  4. On the left, choose Credentials.
  5. Click Create credentials and then select API key.

Note: In addition to reading the instructions on this page, be sure to read Best practices for securely using API keys.

I think, this (0xd62377123a70817:0x85e89b65fcf7c648) is ID of map object in GoogleMap database. When click URL1.

For Example

if you want geographic coordinates then click URL2 please and next if need create link as EMBED no problem, result below:

src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=
!1m18
    !1m12
        !1m3

    !5e0
!3m2
   !1ses
   !2ses
!4v1509474812934" 

it is FTID (0xd62377123a70817:0x85e89b65fcf7c648)
The ftid parameter is a unique identifier for certain map objects, just as fid and cid are. Locations that need to be on the map but are not part of the Local database are identified by the ftid parameter. It is not possible to claim these type of Maps objects through Places.

API Google Places and others work with place-id

for (Calle Cruz de Piedra, 4 03015 Alicante) place-id = ChIJFwinI3E3Yg0RSMb3_GWb6IU

(place -> place-id)
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-placeid-finder
and Reverse (place-id->place) https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-place-id

NOW:

place-id to location - ok

FTID to location -? question open... for fast and automatic

way over Google:

I hope this helps!

Akubik's answer brought me on track. The parameter I describe is, despite its coordinate-like param1:param2-look, an identifier.

I was not able to find out what param1 is, but when a place (e. g., a store) is selected, param2 is the Google Maps customer id (CID) in hexadecimal encoding. In my given example, that is not the case. But, using another real-world example, the parameter:

!1s0x6ad63fbf56e24c27:0xe665b3308d32f379

can be understood like this

0xe665b3308d32f379  ---hex-to-dec--->  16601872622479930233

and https://google.com/maps?cid=16601872622479930233 will lead to the marked place.

How to extract the coordinates from that? If you only have a few samples, you can do it by hand. Click on the link above, and after 1-2 seconds, Google Maps will refresh the URL in the browser. It now contains the exact coordinates of the place (yes, this time the exact coordinates, not center of the viewport) in the !3d and !4d parameter.

If you have many samples and/or want to automatize the process, you have to use the Google Maps API (check for example this link).

What is missing: How to understand the parameter, if not a place, but an address was selected? For an example, see the link in my original question.
