Google Maps: Extract places from shared list

Edit: This doesn't work for lists > 20 items, because pagination does not work. Please see here

This script allows extracting name and coordinates for gmaps shared lists. It is incredibly unstable and may break anytime. Good luck figuring out why, because the syntax is extremely confusing and basically makes no sense at all. Thanks to google for not providing an api for this after LITERALLY 12 YEARS

How to use this script:

  1. Share a list and open the link in a browser window. It will redirect. The new link will look like this: google.com/maps/@<your coords>/data=....
  2. Take the data-portion and paste it into the following link: https://google.com/maps/@/data=?ucbcb=1
