Provisioning features specific to Google Earth Pro in the Google Earth API

Question

I am a definite novice with the GE API, and I have a little bit of KML experience, so I apologize if this is a day-one question.

I am considering developing a web-based application using the GE API, and I'm wondering if it's possible to add any of the Google Earth Pro functionality that I have through my Pro license. Specifically, the most recent version of GE Pro contains a Viewshed tool, and I'm wondering if it's at all possible to use the API to programmatically call this feature in the web-based GE instance, or if that feature is something that's restricted to the downloadable client version of GE Pro. Thanks for any help.

No this is not possible. The Google Earth Api and the Desktop application are totally separate things.

You would have to create your own functionality using the API.
