Ask HN: Resources for Learning API Development

Can you share resources for learning api development that makes rest or gRPC APIs available in 15 days? Something that teaches step by step for building an end product?

One thing that really helped me was when i started using ruby on rails. This framework introduced me to the idea of scaffolding. The basic idea is to just generate large sections of a web application. So you can generate a database table called fish, and rails will generate a delete, Post New etc to change these items using html or in a API.

So I would advice to just start making a API with a tool you are familiar with or learn a new one if you have enough time and just start experimenting.
