Good afternoon!

I have one task, I need to receive data via API from one WEB server and upload them also via API to another WEB server. As a programmer, to put it mildly, I am "not very" in connection with which, even by googling I can not make a choice in which language it is better to write it. This is complicated by the fact that CLI is not an option, you need at least some kind of GUI for someone who will use it. The choice fell on JavaScript - as the most simple and logical to learn, and Python - as more practical, since I'm doing system administration. As I understand the API, both of them can work with WEB servers.
In general, the task comes down to choosing a language that will help you quickly resolve the issue of data transfer and which will be useful in the future, because I want to immerse myself in programming and get a normal programming skill.

Thanks in advance!

With Javascript, it will be easier to make a GUI - you just need to make a web application.

Neither one nor the other

For such a task, I would probably take JS. We write html with the interface directly with our hands, add the JS part with logic there, open it (locally, as a file) in any normal browser and you're done. No fussing with GUI libraries, everything is simple, understandable and 100% portable (it is enough to transfer the file to the machine where it will be needed in any way, or put it on a static hosting).
