You got advice to make a manual request for a URL from Keith.  You did
not clearly present what happened when you tried that.  It really seems
like you need support from google, not from the qgis user community.
And, because this is a proprietary service requiring signing up and
paying, and because you didn't publish your API key to the list :-),
most of us can't just check if it works for us.

So, as Keith very helpfully said:

  https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.0262,-75.0301&key={your_api_key}

and use curl or wget. If you can't make that work, then you need
help from google.  Only if manual requests work and qgis does not, does
it make sense to ask for help here.
