Is it possible to use the Google Maps API router just using HTTP? Something like http://maps.google.com?from=blah?to=blah
And have it return some sort of XML or JSON representing the directions?

Go to the Google Maps Platform > Credentials page. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key. The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key. Click Close.
All Maps Embed API requests are available at no charge with unlimited usage.
The Google Maps Platform is a set of APIs and SDKs that allows developers to embed Google Maps into mobile apps and web pages, or to retrieve data from Google Maps.
There is no documented and approved method to access driving directions via an HTTP API request.
This makes it difficult to get driving directions on the server-side, which I assume is your intention.
Not only it is undocumented and difficult to achieve, but it would also violate the restrictions 10.1 and 10.5 of the Google Maps API Terms and Conditions.
However, if you don't mind the challenge, and you believe that rules are there to be broken, you may want to check these articles:
