Selecting features from one layer into new layer based on IDs using PyQGIS? [closed]

Question

I'm completely new to PYQGIS. I'm pretty handy with MapBasic in MapInfo and was wondering how I would 'translate' this command from SQL select into Python (hope that makes sense)

Essentially, I have a layer with multiple objects - but I only want to select and extract the objects which have an id like %ABC% into a separate layer.

In MapBasic I would:

Select * from *examplelayer* where id Like "%ABC%" into *ABC*

where 'id' is a field I want to search in the table/layer 'examplelayer', id Like "%ABC%" meaning that any id's containing ABC will be selected into a new table/map layer named "ABC"
