Google My Maps - API

Question

Is there any way to add Layers, Points, Directions or any data to a map in the Google My Maps, using API?

I have searched in Google but didn't find a solution to do this.

Solution

Currently there is no any API to access MyMaps programmatically.

I can see a feature request for this in the public issue tracker:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35820262

It looks like Google is evaluating the feasibility to implement the API, however, no timeline provided at the moment.

Please star this feature request to express your interest and receive further updates.

UPDATE

As of April 2018 it looks like Google decided do not implement the API for Google MyMaps and marked the aforementioned feature request as Infeasible.
