The Google Maps Static API returns an image (either GIF, PNG or JPEG) in response to an HTTP request via a URL.

The Google Maps Static API returns an image (either GIF, PNG or JPEG) in response to an HTTP request via a URL. For each request, you can specify the location of the map, the size of the image, the zoom level, the type of map, and the placement of optional markers at locations on the map. You can additionally label your markers using alphanumeric characters.

A Maps Static API image is embedded within an HTML <img> tag's src attribute, or its equivalent in other programming languages.
