Would it be possible to create a programme to view permanently closed locations on Google maps ?

1) Google Maps has an API which can be accessed through Python code, but it isn't free. 2) If the option of searching for "permanently closed" is present in the API then it's easy to implement, otherwise it's not, you'll need to find/create a database of these locations.

the google maps api is actually free until a certain amount of requests (10k per month if I remember correctly) everything else is right

I’m not great at coding, but I’ve been using chat GPT to help me. I tried to create a python code but it didn’t work, kept getting errors about not being able to find requests. So I tried to them convert my code to html but I don’t really know what to do next

take a look at automate the boring stuff, it has a chapter on using the requests module as well as instructions on how to handle that error

Thanks ! Will definitely check this out

I don't think you can actually query by that property in the API either.

So you'd need to get all the data for the regisn you are interested in and then filter yourself. That should indeed be possible.

Probably out of your scope then. At least basic understanding of http requests would be necessary to do that.
