I´m pretty new to Java and I stumbled on a following problem. I would like to extract information from an API response as following:

{"data":{"52WeekChange":-0.23800159,"SandP52WeekChange":-0.0445475,"address1":"Salesforce Tower".....

What I would need to extract is the address1 information. Anyone any ideas?

Go read about the Jackson library: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson

You'll want to create an object that models the JSON you are ingesting. You'll then use Jackson to transform that JSON response into the java object, where you can work with it normally.
