If you want to play with APIs, and you know Python, I would just access them from normal Python with 'requests' (or any other normal HTTP client you like, but 'requests' is the most popular and makes doing the right thing straightforward). In my opinion there's a lot of value in building something that works and then going from there. If you know Python and Flask, build your thing in normal Python and Flask, rendering templates, not doing dynamic stuff in JS. Then add Vue or whatever else once you have a basic thing working to make it fancier.
