Hi there,
The official documentation is all you need to get started.
is there some URL that displays a JSON file that can be parsed or what must I do,
That is, basically, it. If you use client libraries you won't have to guess the URL and the JSON files will be parsed for you, amongst other things like handling authentication.
Cheers!
Jose
