Hi! I am a first-time poster to python-list, but I think I can help you. > I have an xls file that has about 1,000 latitude and longitude points.

If you save your xls file as a csv (comma-separated values), you can use python's built-in csv module, documented here - http://docs.python.org/2/library/csv.html, to read the file line by line. Store the values and substitute the strings into a new list of URLs. > I need the urls to look like this: > > Map with a pin in the centre: > > http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=43.65162,-79.40571&zoom=16&size=600x600&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C43.65162,-79.40571&sensor=false > > Image: > > http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?location=43.65162,%20-79.40571&size=600x600&sensor=false I was able to use curl to grab the images you linked. I believe you can use urllib (or, better, requests - http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/) to get and save the images. hth. best, ken
