Extracting Data from Map APIs into Google Sheets & Looker Studio This report answers whether data from map APIs, primarily focusing on the Google Maps Platform, can be extracted directly into Google Sheets or Looker Studio for analysis and visualization. Executive Summary There is no direct, one-click integration to pull data from Google Maps APIs into Google Sheets or Looker Studio. However, extraction is entirely possible and commonly done through indirect methods that require some technical setup. For Google Sheets: The most effective method is using Google Apps Script to call the API and write the data directly into a sheet. This is ideal for smaller, on-demand data pulls. For Looker Studio: The best practice is to first load the API data into an intermediate data source that Looker Studio can connect to, such as Google Sheets (for simple cases) or BigQuery (for larger, more automated workflows).
