Using R, it is possible to query the Google maps API for the most current imagery from specified locations e.g.

library(ggmap)
mal <- get_map('Malabo', zoom = 12, maptype = 'satellite')
ggmap(mal)

Does the API allow/support queries for historical imagery from user specified dates?. If yes:

-how can this be done in R?

-If it can not be done in R, are there other ways/tools to do it?

Many thanks.

What do the help pages at Google itself say? – Carl Witthoft Jan 26 '15 at 01:18

Well, it advises that if stuck, one should post their issue/question on stackoverflow: https://developers.google.com/maps/support/ – shekeine Jan 26 '15 at 19:36
Was there ever a solution to this? I am currently looking for a way to obtain imagery based on a specific year. – Phil May 15 '19 at 12:08
