Google Maps API - Get Coordinates of address

Question

I would like to convert addresses into long lat   Is there any way to do this without using JavaScript  Because in my case there is no need to display anything since the conversion is in the background

What you are looking for is called Geocoding.

Google provides a Geocoding Web Service which should do what you're looking for. You will be able to do geocoding on your server.

JSON Example:

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA

XML Example:

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA

Edit:

Please note that this is now a deprecated method and you must provide your own Google API key to access this data.

Althugh you asked for Google Maps API  I suggest an open source  working  legal  free and crowdsourced API by Open street maps     https   nominatim openstreetmap org search q Mumbai amp format json   Here is the API documentation for reference   Edit  It looks like there are discrepancies occasionally  at least in terms of postal codes  when compared to the Google Maps API  and the latter seems to be more accurate  This was the case when validating addresses in Canada with the Canada Post search service  however  it might be true for other countries too
