Can I download from here.com API all roads in USA as connected graph? I didn't find any api method for this, only download map images.

Sorry, don't think we have such a product as a REST API currently. Perhaps reach out to our customer support group to license the raw RDF data?

Was looking at using the Here API to get some historical traffic data. Their website says they have historical traffic data, but I don't see a way to access it via their API other than getting a time-aware route, which takes historical traffic into account but doesn't give me info about it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Several years is not accessible through these APIs.

use REST API from Fleet Telematics Advanced Data Sets with layer TRAFFIC_SPEED_RECORD_FC1...5
Online documentation is there:

We are using the Google Maps API on our web application. The map quality that is returned via the API is different than the quality of the map that is returned when using the standard Google Maps application. Is there a setting that needs to be configured as part of the API to ensure the same quality of map is returned?
This is an example of what I am referring to. https://www.google.com/maps/#-26.2514667,28.1114895,37m/data=!3m1!1e3
Good Quality
This is great quality, but the same location opened via the API has very low quality maps.
Poor Quality
Thank you for the responses. I have received some feedback (below) from Google's tech support. Will have to accept this for now.
"Hi George,
Thank you for contacting Google Maps Platform technical support. My name is 'redacted' and I'll be helping you today with your issue.
Please note that maps.google.com and Google Maps API are two different products. The imagery used in Static Maps, JS API and the mobile APIs may differ from each other, as well as Google Maps. Google Maps is specialized to use 3D imagery and 2D where not available, as it is optimized using WebGL. The Javascript API uses only 2D imagery.
With that said, to answer your question, there is no setting to ensure that same quality of map is returned. We do continuously update our global imagery.

I want to analyze traffic behavior in my city for a project in urban studies. I´ve been able to get some traffic information from OSM, and maps from Google, but the google traffic info is slightly better. Has anyone been able to download such information using R and the Google Maps API?
As you're not actually after the traffic data and just want a map of the traffic, you can use you googleway package to do this (with a valid Google Maps API key)
library(googleway)
google_map(key = 'map_api_key') %>%
add_traffic()
We are using Google Maps geocode service to get Latitude and Longitude for a given address,
We invoke google maps geocode service in a loop for each address(the loop max size is 50 addresses).
we are using this MAPs for State of Texas HHSC Help website (https://www.211texas.org/211/)
Below is service URL that we are using to get Latitude and Longitude.

Google thinks this is Unusual traffic from our computer network, but it is not.
If you copy and paste the above link on your browser URL, you will see the below message.
The service is not working and it says

Sorry,If this is not right place to post this issue,
How to contact google on this issue, since its not commercial website issue.
or is there any alternative way to get Latitude and Longitude for given address.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Use the documented endpoint.

Is there a way to implement the google traffic prediction described in the link, with the maps api?
maps traffic prediction
the question and the accepted answer are from 2012.
Since October 2015 it IS possible to get routes and predicted travel times for future trips.
You can supply departure_time with your route plan request. Note that this feature only works if you connect using an API key.
It's based on historical data, and when the trip is in the near future, it uses live traffic data.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro#RequestParameters
No. Here's the API documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/layers#TrafficLayer
Traffic prediction is not part of the API. It is included in Google Maps (their own, not others' maps via the API), so it will be possible to use undocumented calls to get the data. But they don't like people doing that and it could have unintended consequences.
