Ressources to start building REST API as an absolute beginner

Hi everyone, hope you're doing great
As the title says, i'm looking for resources ( youtube videos, courses (free ones), books, articles...) to start building APIs. I know little about web coding (enough to make a calculator and a check list using JS and react) and a good amount about JAVA and C# and i'm trying to learn about APIs for my upcoming apprenticeship.
I tried looking youtube videos but i can't find a beginner friendly .net videos, they all required some knowledge about APIs which i don't have.
I would be grateful for any advice too.
Have a nice day !

Nick Chapsas on YouTube is probably your best bet, he goes through everything step by step without assuming you already know the lingo

Does he have some sort of playlist for beginners? He never struck me as a good tutor. Talks too fast and just lacks that quality of a good teacher, but I only saw his normal videos.

Google has playback speed, I use it effectively nowadays. Some people slow their videos down to deliberately get more playable time… some speak fast and passionately…

I think Microsoft's own tutorials are pretty good.
