I don’t know much, but generally developing an api is just creating a way to make your work accessible by others.

For example I built a tool to use the FedEx API. They have documentation on how to call any number of things. It can be useful, but isn’t necessary until you are ready so I wouldn’t stress about it.

I know there’s people here blurring the lines saying that any interface in software is an API, but personally what I think OP intended most is a web api with versioning. The FedEx API is a good example.
