How to get data from API without jquery

Question

I'm making my first web aplication with plain javascript for practice. Although I tried to use API, such as google map API or youtube API, I couldn't find out a way to get data from them without jquery.

It would be great if you could show me some example codes and how to get data from API resources with plain Javascript.

Here is a list of examples from Google Maps API. You can see for yourself there is no jQuery needed in these examples.

All of them are implemented in plain Javascript. If you are working entirely on the Google Maps API you don't need to have knowledge of jQuery.

However, basic understanding of AJAX, asynchronous behaviour of Javascript and Callbacks is required if you want to understand the code flow.
