A good place to start would be the documentation for the ZEDI (Zexplore Development Interface) which is a Java application packaged with the Manageability SDK download. It'll allow you to explore the API library.

What are you hoping to accomplish with the API? That answer might drive some more discussion or help people point you to additional documentation.
