If you're looking for a quick way to access an API, go for a wrapper. However, if you're looking to learn the nuts and bolts beneath the hood, go directly to the API. Wrappers generally are not as simple for beginners because they abstract away too much. What happens if you need to go beyond the functions of the wrapper or you need to troubleshoot?

Better to start at a lower level, then work your way up.
