Extracting location marker points from embedded Google maps

[Lazar]

Ok so not really statistics but I need to scrape an embedded google map to get location data. So this link here http://www.cricos.deewr.gov.au/Institution/InstitutionDetails.aspx?ProviderID=917 has a google map. I want the marker flags contained within. Anyone know how to do this?

Usually this data is in the source code but not in this case

I was looking for the marker sign..

If you have the long and lat (or geocode) information, you can plot those points without the map. I am not sure my reply is align towareds your question.

Don't ask me how but there's an API that looks like you can get this info: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#Marker

Can you get the link to the map?

It is actually the lat and lon that I want to extract

Yeah I can't unfortunately. What I can do, however, is extract data from the table in the link and send that to google maps to get the lat and lon. That works ok

What about

ggmap::geocode(c('Melbourne'))
