I am planning to develop an app, to scan (using NFC, similar to QR codes) a geo-location/ address and save it to "My Places" on "Maps" and also an option to get directions to this location. Do I need a Maps API key? Do I use Google places API?

Is there a sample which does something similar to this?

Any help is highly appreciated.

You will need to use the Google Places API and will need an API key from Google API Console, but that said I'm not aware of a way to add places to a user's My Places... You could forward them to the Google Maps app with the place's details...
