Python can be utilized to extract data from an interactive map through web scraping or API calls. Here are some methods:

1. Web scraping:
2. Inspect the website's HTML code to identify the map element and its source code.
3. Use a web scraping tool like BeautifulSoup or Scrapy in Python to extract data from the HTML code.

4. Convert the extracted data into a structured format like CSV or JSON.

5. API calls:

6. Check if the interactive map has API endpoints that provide data in a structured format.
7. Use Python libraries like requests, urllib, or aiohttp to make HTTP requests to the API and receive the response.
8. Parse the response data to extract relevant information.

Note that the ability to extract data from an interactive map largely depends on the website's design and data availability. Some websites may have security measures that prevent web scraping, while others may not offer public APIs.
