title: API to display the nearest photos to a long/lat location from Google Maps Views (like Panoramio)
body: <p>Forgive me if this has already been asked but searching on 'Google Maps Views' brings up rather a lot of irrelevant hits.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an API to display the nearest (say) 5 photos to a particular long/lat location from the photos available on Google Maps Views? I don't particularly need them on a map, just to embed thumbnails of the photos and link to the originals.</p>
  
  <p>eg I have a page for Callanish stone circle. Could I embed images from Views based on a long/lat query?</p>
  
  <p>Here's what is on Views for that location:
  <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/views/explore?hl=en&amp;gl=gb&amp;vm=1&amp;ll=54.596562,-3.104517&amp;bd=54.586641,-3.121855,54.606481,-3.087179&amp;z=15&amp;pv=2" rel="noreferrer">https://www.google.com/maps/views/explore?hl=en&amp;gl=gb&amp;vm=1&amp;ll=54.596562,-3.104517&amp;bd=54.586641,-3.121855,54.606481,-3.087179&amp;z=15&amp;pv=2</a></p>
  
  <p>I read that Views is what is supposed to be taking over from Panoramio. I know Panoramio had an API but that's being shut down.</p>
  
  <p>If this is possible, does anyone have an example of something similar? Showing photos on a map would be OK if that's the only way to do it.
  Many thanks
