How to start developing a network application to interact with a third-party server?

Question

Programming

Hello.
I would be glad for any useful information that will help you understand where to start and how to continue in order to write an application that could display information received, for example, from the game server (player rating, etc.) and send information to the server (for example, a message in a chat) in real time and without the need to run the client.
Always ready to answer clarifying questions.
