Is Google Places API available via maps.google.cn domain?

Question

is Google places API available via maps.google.cn domain? This works from China.

curl "https://maps.google.cn/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA"

but this results in 404 The requested URL /maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=SOME_QUERY&types=locality was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

tried with http:// but no luck.

Thanks!

No it's not available, and if you're in China, please note that this is a prohibited territory as per https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-prohibited-territories/
