I would like to start trying to do something with the API tools provided to us but really have no idea where to start. Not sure if I have to have a website or if there is a program I can load on my computer and take it from there. There is a plethora of information out there regarding API's and I have no idea where to begin in order to teach myself. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

    Sure. All you need really is to make HTTP queries and parse the results. You can do that from a program, a webpage, a script, etc.

    What programming languages do you know?

    Really well? None. I have played with HTML but that is about it. Sounds like this may be beyond me if I have to know anything other than that.

    HTML wouldn't qualify as a programming language... but the JavaScript found in webpages does.

    The point of the API is to automatize certain tasks or create your own ways of interacting with BrickOwl. In any case, it involves writing code in a programming language of your choice.

    Anything specific you wanted to do with the API?
