Where / How can I get Polygon data from the Google Maps API?

I really want this question to be short, so .. I would like to know if Google Maps has detailed information, in this case I need a polygon (array of coordinates) for a specific Municipality inside the city (i.e. Envigado in the city of Medellin, Co)

Is there a way to get this type of data?

EDIT: I'm not sure if Google Maps displays the type of geograph of the polygon I need, as indicated in the answer, maybe not, but a simple query shows something interesting:

Envigado probable polygon

Borders on maps are not accessible (currently) through the Google Maps API, except for reverse geocoding calls (which does not return a polygon, but only information for this location). The Natural Earth dataset contains country and state boundaries, but not the level of detail you are looking for.

You can request the addition of this function (I do not see the existing request, but you must check it before adding):

I think this is the function request you are looking for:
