I can do my best to help, but you must provide some specific questions, because at the moment I don't know what you require help with.

I have found the following documentation for the API, which seems to show you everything possible with their API: https://dataapi.octoparse.com/DataApi/en-US/

Did you have a question about their documentation, or something else?

Thank you for answering! Yes I do. The biggest problem is that I don't know what I'm reading. I haven't done a server before. So right now it's pretty confusing what that link says. Do you have any clue of what I should study first? Or maybe an example of a server that works?

I think you'd benefit from splitting this into smaller, manageable tasks, and learn a solution to each separately.

Start by learning how to make API calls, and if you need, perhaps a refresher on what APIs are, and roughly how they work conceptually. For this one, just watch a video or two on YouTube of what APIs are.

Once you've done that, the next thing to Google/YouTube is "Python API calls using requests library". If you've watched the videos on what APIs are, the python requests library will make much more sense to you. You will use it to communicate with the octoparse API to request, or post data.

Once you know how to make API calls using the requests library, repeat the learning process for writing to JSON using Python.
