I came on the same problem, Simple API access is not well documented (or maybe just not where i searched), but using the Google API Explorer i found a way to get what i need, which is in fact pretty straightforward. You don't need specific lib or anything : it's actually really simple.

In my case i simply needed to search a keyword on G+, so i just had to do a GET request:

https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities?query={KEYWORD}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Now, for a calendar access (see here), let's pretend we want to fetch access control rules list. We need to refer to calendar.acl.list which give us the URI :

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{CALENDAR_ID}/acl?key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Fill in the blanks, and that's pretty much all you need to do. Get a server key (API Access submenu), store it somewhere in your project and call it within URIs you're requesting.
