I want to use APIs, where do I start

Hi folks, I want to learn how to use Shopify APIs, Facebook APIs, and some others, I don't know where to start. I finished the C# track, and I'm on the ASP track, but I never get there... and when I make a search for API here I only get one seemingly unrelated course.

There was something explained in a C# course, but the instructor just went too fast. Your guidance is appreciated. When I google the topic I find how to create an API but I don't want to do that, I want to know how to consume them.

Thanks.

You might find some useful info in the JavaScript courses.

I believe some of the JavaScript courses also have some examples of using API's. The AJAX technology in particular might be useful for API consumption.

Thank you Steven. I just had a look at the Javascript full course and yeah, that's next then!
