I don't understand your question: do you have to use an already existing and
implemented API or do you want to create your own API?

If you don't have any idea what your API should look like start writing down what
you want your software to do in your own language. Then read what you wrote:
can you group certain functionalities? are certa\in functionalities similar to each
other? Are certain functionalities depending on other (previous) functionalities?

Can you determine classes? Define interfaces for them and factories that create
those classes (implementing those interfaces) for the user. Don't forget to define
your exceptions.

Basically you have to try to define your CRC (Classes, Responsibilities and
Collaborations between those classes). Don't start any coding yet.
