Hello Billy, You can choose any language you want. I strongly recommend to use one of the client libraries<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/clientlibraries> . It allows you easily make requests without care about underlying soap protocol.
As for the account level budget, currently we only have BudgetOrderService<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/BudgetOrderService> to query account's monthly budget. (Note: that is whitelist basis Service) Using CampaignService, you can query campaign level budgets. As for the date spend, you can use AdHoc reports<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports> (e.g. Account performance report) looking at the cost column.
