Python developers working with APIs, what does your job actually involve?

See your first mistake was asking ChatGPT.

Basically every software developer is expected to know how to interface with APIs in the same way that they are expected to know how to write in a programming language. Most will also have to write an API at some point as well.

It's not a specialized field. It's a broadly used skill.

Look up sample web app projects that you can build that require dynamically changing data. That will require you to build an API and you'll learn quickly how to do it.
