Google Maps API – Get Coordinates of address

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.
