I want to create an app where a users shares the directions link from the Google Maps app and the app generates a GPX file that can be used in a different navigation app.

For example, this short direction link:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/fCuimzb1oqRtdMzn6

expands to:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/51.5199302,-0.1103523/51.5070144,-0.1084179/@51.5131116,-0.114774,2318m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!4m4!1m0!1m1!4e1!3e0!5m1!1e1?entry=tts&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDUxNS4xKgBIAVAD&skid=18184f58-3e22-4f43-8277-9277a041cbdf

For the same starting and ending points but a different route the short url is:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/yn3mXWSyFrmwZfar6

which expands to:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/51.5199302,-0.1103523/51.5070144,-0.1084179/@51.5131116,-0.114774,2400m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!4m5!1m0!1m1!4e1!3e0!5i2!5m1!1e1?entry=tts&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDUxNS4xKgBIAVAD&skid=64a2fa25-7304-4c95-a32b-c747c2d99030

I understand that 51.5199302,-0.1103523 is the starting point and 51.5070144,-0.1084179 is the destination point. But how do I decipher the rest of the data in order to make a routing API call that will reproduce the exact route in each case?
