Solution 1

An API is nothing more than an interface that other people can use to couple with your application.

1) Decide what functionality you would like to expose to the outside world.
2) In a WEB scenario create WEB Services (or WCF etc.) for your functionality.
3) Document your interface for other people to use.

API defines "An application programming interface (API) is a source code based specification intended to be used as an interface by software components to communicate with each other. An API may include specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, and variables.(source:wiki)"

Means you need to create a Classlibrary (DLL) that you can call through web applications.
