Best language to learn quickly/easily to interact with an API?
Everyone here seems to have misread what you wanted. From my interpretation, you are trying to upload a csv somewhere, using an api. With ruby, you can either do it with a built in library or one of the nice http gems. Someone suggested using Python with a builtin library called requests which isn't actually built in, so I'm also going to go with a library that isn't built in. httparty

My go-to is HTTParty for most cases. As a simple example for a one-off request:

Testing external APIs with Rspec and WebMock
I'm too tied to the implementation. If one day I decide to use Faraday or HTTParty as my HTTP clients instead of Net::HTTP, this test will fail.

Using the Postmark API and custom metatags with Ruby on Rails
Now we ensured the right meta data is added to the emails with a custom metatag, let's setup the Postmark API to retrieve the email data an show it in our application. The first step is to add a gem so we can send HTTP requests to the Postmark API. There are several good gems for this, I use the httparty gem. So add this to the Gemfile:

Using Rest Client for Seeding Database
The Met has a really robust API of their collection - over 470,000 distinct objects! Talk about a lot of data! I needed to figure out how to get at least a sampling of this data into my backend API. I found just what I was looking for in RestClient. In theory it is super easy to use and I will give a few quick steps below. I say in theory because I think it depends on how well set up the API is that you are pulling your data from. If you are wondering, the Met's was really easy sometimes and really hard others - some of the art objects were missing attributes that I wanted to pull so I had hand hold my seed file during some of the departments. For brevity sake, I will use one of the easier bit of data to pull - the Met's list of departments. (seeding the art objects themselves was another story all together!)

Microsoft Graph API implementation in Rails app
I am considering to use the rest-client gem, because many of my call need nested data. But I actually don't think they support the structure Microsoft are using for their "rest" api.
