Complete zero on the topic so far.
What to download?
Is there an api to work?
API to create, delete wallets, transfer bitcoins.
It is necessary to write a web service, and the bits were spinning on my server and were under full control.

Read about how to set up a local node and prepare a fast ssd of 250 and above purely for data
Now the size is already over 170 gigs
, look for where this data can be downloaded via torrent (they will then be validated by the node) otherwise it will take many weeks to download.
For developers, there is a testnet, and there you can even get free bitcoin for tests.
All the api is on the off site, but knowing only the api you will make logical errors during development and your loot can be stolen even though only you will have wallets.
In Kharkiv, DistributedLab conducted a series of 4 seminars for 1-2 hours with a practical squeeze on how to start it all from my own experience, look for maybe there are materials in the public. It will take several weeks of reading the docks to independently analyze most of these points, but you will understand more deeply.
Without installing a node, you can play with api here - https://blockchain.info/ru/api/json_rpc_api

And for what purpose do you need to work with the blockchain on a personal PC, what do you want to create, if not a secret?
