Hello, i was wondering if some one has time or the good will to teach me how to use API`s. A lot of video hosts have API options but i have no idea how to use them, what programs i need and how do those scripts work. Maybe some one has time to show me some tutorials or examples on how to get data from them.

I tried to watch videos on youtube about them but one hour later i have not learned anything and i`m more confused then before.
Thank you hoping for some help for this.

Begin with the beginning :-) How does http works.
Client (Your Browse for example) make a request to a server with http protocoll. Since both partner speak the same language (protocoll) it can work. The server gets the request and make something. Behind the server is an service which first gets the request (IIS, Appache) and redirect it to your api-Software. Which build an answer with a Http Status Code. 200-299 are anwers for OK. 400 - 499 are answers for not OK (There a lot more Status Codes). The Client again gets the response and is happy.
 
You need to know programming, then to read some resources. For example here you can find interesting articles about API and another modern experience in building software.
 
Without knowing programming, you can’t understand API well. First, you should know some basic programming and then start learning how to use API. After you’ve learned programming, you can get benefits from this site: snipcart.com/blog/apis-integration-usage-benefits
