How would I do it in a web app?
If you have a Matrix account you should go to https://matrix.to/#/#monero-community-dev:monero.social to get help there and describe your app design. If you are just accepting payments to a website, then you can use BTCPay Server or BitCart.
The Monero blockchain does not hold data in plaintext like other blockchains. You cannot just query the blockchain data through an API. You have to decrypt transactions with private view keys.
That doesn't mean that there's no way to retrieve an info view API.
Well. you kinda are.
