Google's Maps APIs goes over http, so sending request with get and then parsing the request... It should be possible to do in any language.

For example, in PHP:

$ret = file_get_contents("http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=" .
            urlencode($address) .
            "&sensor=false" .
            "&key=" . $this->key
    );

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($ret);
$error = $xml->status;

Same works for all APIs.
