Very new to APIs, have a lot of questions

I feel bad asking for help because I love to learn things on my own, I just can't seem to figure out where to even begin here. Sadly I have very little experience in Java, Python, or any form of C. I have an understanding of html and css due to a few friends of the past teaching me some things, yet never did too much work on my own. Anyway, my point is I found a reason to learn all this stuff: a simple love for a game and a want to create a website for my friends or their friends to use. My use for the api is to create a database for all the gear and perks. Like Planet Destiny or DestinyDB has, I don't want to copy anyone or anything, just want to create an all in one place of information you know? Also maybe in time add a psn/xbox login area for people to view their grimoire scores/progress, player stats, and other "basic" information. Is it possible to create a section that shows the daily, weekly, and nightfall with rewards/modifiers without writing it manually each day? My main goal is to provide a space in which people can search up Hawkmoon and it will display the weapon picture (easy to get) and a layout of the perks with a description overlay on each when hovered upon, like in the game. Is this too big of a task to imp lament into a website? What languages must I become experienced in to create these things? Jeez, most basic question is where do I even begin? Sorry if this is too much to ask and/or if I seem too inexperienced to even ask these types of questions, just want a bit of a push in the right direction and maybe some help here and there if I just can't get it. I just feel incomplete in my project without sections like this in it. (just to eliminate someone saying this: I do have my api key, I got that far haha) Edit: forgot to add the question of public events too. How would I go about getting public events from worlds (earth, mars, etc), xur, and vendor inventory listed?

  • Watch that, that will give you an idea of how to get started programming. For webpages you may want to start with a language that accomplishes what you want. LAMP is the most common (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) setup when i started getting interested in making things. Finding information on different things is a bit trickier, you can look at sticky for the Official API calls or look around the forum for some of the unofficial and you can start probing. But from the sounds of it you will be using the Official API to do everything since you don't need authorization to protected items. Hopefully that helps you and anyone else looking to get started!
