New to programming, but have an idea. What next?

Im very new to coding and programming language. Ive been learning, but want to make sure im headed in the right direction and see if there is an easy method for something.

I'm the band leader at my church, and I've had an idea the last few months to create an app, web app, or program that is pretty much a database of the songs that we play with the ability to find songs that have similar chord progressions or tempo.

It doesn't really need to show the chord charts like ultimate guitar, but a list of the songs that can be filtered by the musical properties. I have PDFs of most of the songs and don't know if that would be easier to collect the data from than compiling a list of every URL from Ultimate Guitar and figuring out how to scrape the information.

Any ideas on what I should focus on learning first or beginning steps to get something going with this? Its much appreciated.

It seems like APIs can be used here. API serves as an interface to deliver the data from the database. Data can be fetched from the server through API and then can be used according to the needs. You may need to learn how to read the fetched API data (which is delivered in JSON, XML, YAML etc. formats).

Great! Thanks for your response. I've definitely looked into APIs out there, however it's a little difficult to find any associated with music, as much of it is licensed and copywrited.

It definitely helps to know where what formats to put me in the right direction!

Thanks!
