title: From Google Maps CID to Place ID
body: <p>I have a bunch of links to google maps in the form of <code>https://maps.google.com/?cid=&lt;identifier&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can you go from that CID to a Place ID that can be used with the Google Places API? Is there any API endpoint that you can use to convert these URLs into the new places?</p>
