Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

What's your question?

#

How can I navigate through an API

#

I find them so confusing

#

Your question is ambiguous. They are usually documented. Like https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2#pokemon

Documentation - PokéAPI

An open RESTful API for Pokémon data

#

You just need to read about how they are implemented.

#

Then do the thing.

#

@charred isle Do you have a specific question? If not you can close the thread with !close or !solved.
