detecting “we have no imagery” of google maps street view static images

Question

I\'m generating street view static images like so:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=1080x400&location=%s&fov=90&heading=235&pitch=0&a

Answer 1

As of 2016, you can use the new Street View Image Metadata API.

Now you just need the status field to know if a panorama is found.

Example requests:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview/metadata?size=600x300&location=78.648401,14.194336&fov=90&heading=235&pitch=10&key=YOUR_API_KEY

{
   "status" : "ZERO_RESULTS"
}

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview/metadata?size=600x300&location=eiffel%20tower,%20paris,%20france&heading=-45&pitch=42&fov=110&key=YOUR_API_KEY

{
   ...
   "status" : "OK"
}
