JavaScript Can someone help me get started with this API?

[DudeThatsErin]

I am trying to figure out how to get started. I have been provided crash data from a potential employer and they want me to display it on a map.

This is what they said:

For this exercise we’ve put together a small publicly available API that contains some traffic crash data for our County. We’d like you to put together a small web page the consumes this data.

At minimum, the page should do the following

• Display the crash data as points on a web map.
• Be able to filter the points
• Be able to show some information about the data in the form of a graph, table, etc.

Currently, I have google maps running on https://dudethatserin.com (a spare domain I have) and I understand how to get the information from the API based on the link that they provided (redacted here for privacy). I just don't know how to go from URL-OF-API.com or JSON File Containing Data to displaying it on a webpage...

If someone could help me get to that point, I can go from there.

This guy has done pretty good video tutorial about json with api example.

Thanks. I found a good tutorial for the basics and then I found https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overview
Which has an importing JSON data to google maps tutorial. That's exactly what I needed.
