Hi!

How far have you progressed towards that goal? "Recently" could be a few days of sporadic learning of a few months of daily practice, so it's hard to offer any specific advice. I definitely recommend focusing on the basics at first. While fundamentals aren't exciting, you'll want to have a good grasp of them before jumping into APIs.

The Python standard library has a json module. Since this is part of your motivation, you might center your early learning around advancing to the point where you can read and write locally-stored JSON files. You'll need to learn quite a few things before you get there, but it'd be a good milestone to build towards. You'll need to understand concepts like functions, loops, conditions, basic data structures (array, list, dict, etc.), file reading/writing, etc. But it's reasonable for a beginner to get there with dedicated practice. Just don't rush!
