How to add a custom Google Static Map marker image

How to add my own marker image in Google Static Map?

I use the following URL to get a static map

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=250x250&markers=color:red%7C$marker_start&markers=color:green%7C$marker_end&path=weight:3%7Ccolor:red%7Cenc:$encodedString

I can only change the color and add a marker that already exists, but not the image I created.

Yes, there is a section in the documentation explaining how to use custom images instead of their markers: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/intro#CustomIcons

eg.

 https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?markers=icon:http://www.example.com/yourimage.png

Here is also an example of using an encoded polyline.
