Learn SEOmoz API (and more)?

[OscarSE]

I'm sorry for this very basic question.

The reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use SEOmoz API (and later on Majestic SEO etc.)

I have search on the web about API in general, SEOmoz specifically, in Q&A and asked around but: 
I really can't get my head around what "set of skills" I need to know to be able use the SEOmoz API? And other APIs for that reason.

Do I need a programming skills, or just knowledge how each specific API works(+ common sense)? Or both?

I'm sorry if this is off topic but the main reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use the SEOmoz API.

If you could provide a link or two about where I can start to learn about how this works, I would really appreciate that!

You will generally need programming expertise, to write a program to pull and display the data from the API.

Thank you David, but I know there is well documented information about the API itself. I think this apiwiki is for someone that all ready understands the concepts of API.

The problem is not the information, the problem is that I don't really have a grip of what set of skills you need to work with SEOmoz (or Majestic SEO API.)

I'm sorry if I'm totally off topic for SEOmoz Q&A but I some one can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

SEOscar - I've not used the API myself, but there is some decent documentation, including a Getting Started Guide in the Mozscape section of the site. I'd be inclined to start there.

Check out the Wiki page as well: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/
