Lemme tell you my API story.
So I learned asynchronous JavaScript, promises and all API stuff. I followed the tutorial enjoyed it and felt productive.
But after some time I forgot everything and I was like “Why the hell I forgot it”
Then I again learned API but this time something was different, I made a project, a weather application and then I made an app which used pelxels API.

So my takeaway from this experience was learn basics and then make some projects.
Projects that might sound simple or useless to some experienced devs or anyone like make a counter, calculator, tic tac toe app , random password generator or a fully functional e-commerce app.

While learning anything have an end goal in mind and learn enough to complete the goal don't try to learn everything.
