I prefer to use the outliner to find the data paths of variables. If you set the outliner type to 'Datablocks' you can see the whole RNA structure of the current Blender file. If you hover with your mouse over a property Blender will show you how you can access it using the python API:

    $\begingroup$ The location you get is a Python object of type Vector. You can access its x-value by adding .x to the data path. For the default cube this would be bpy.data.objects["Cube"].location.x. Alternatively you can access the vector components by index. ...location[0] also gives you the x value. The index of the y value is 1 and the index of the z value is 2 respectively. $\endgroup$
