When you say you know how to call it when it is in within the same project, it means you already know how to do it. There is absolutely no difference in the procedure of calling api through ajax. The only difference in your case will be, the API will have an address.
for ex it will be like https://www.myawesomeapi.com/api/getmethod this will be your url parameter in your ajax call.
you can post the code where you have called the api when it is within the same project.
That will help to resolve the issue here.

You know how to call api that's cool.

Please follow below steps for calling a api as a generic one.

1.Publish your webapi in any server or your local server
2.you will get the path of the api from it right.
eg:->
https://www.api.com/api/methodname

3.Now go to your project from where you want to call api.
a.you know the path of the api.so declare that root path as globally
eg:-> ServerPath='https://www.api.com/api'
b.And when you are calling api just put serverPath i.e. globally declared with your api method name
eg:-> serverPath + '/MethodName'
in your ajax call url.
5.And with this you can call webapi project method and you can do whatever you want.
