How to extract coordinates in a batch from an API?
I am new in coding, and I apologise in advance for any wrong terms used.
I have to extract coordinate (lat, long) information for ~2500 postal codes in Singapore.
I understand that there is an API that I can use to do so at OneMap (https://docs.onemap.sg/#search).
My question is, how should I go about creating a code that can help me extract the data in batches? What programming language would be the easiest to learn to do so?
Alternatively, would it be easier to use a software like QGIS to map right away?
Thank you.

look for a "batch geocode" service. Would also think that what you need is already available in a download somewhere
