According to http://code.google.com/p/cl-gcalc/ there is no officially sanctioned API for google calculator and, having done some digging around, that really is the general consensus.

I found http://www.dynamicguru.com/php/currency-conversion-using-php-and-google-calculator-api/ which seems to think there is an API for Google calculator, though this just used the calculator page and things which are included on the calculator help page

The article you linked to does not use the calculator page, it makes requests to google.com/ig/calculator which return JSON results. I'd call that an API. However, it's not officially supported. – Concision

That API doesn't actually return JSON! :-( – Noachian
