Ruby makes the most sense but if that's totally foreign to you there are other API adapters that may help kick start you. I'm happy to give the occasional few minutes here and there when I take a nano break, but between client jobs and tinkering with my dashboard tool I'm busy enough this week.
Read through the docs, check github and search stackoverflow. Between those three you should be up and running in know time, and would have learnt a few crazy things along the way.
You can always post here if you are super stuck.
