You can call Web API from any desktop or server side application using WebClient.

var webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
webClient.Headers["X-JavaScript-User-Agent"] = "Google APIs Explorer";

var json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { longUrl = url });
var data = webClient.UploadString("https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?pp=1", json);
