Check out the wiki, there's some tutorials to get you started with creating programs.
Programs are writen in lua, so you should search for some tutorial about lua.

It's an API not a program. APIs are used in programs, they add some functionality to programs that makes some things easier for programmers. To use those functions you need to create a program. If you can't or don't want to write your own programs, you can search in the program library for some program that does what you want.
If you want to learn to create programs, search for some tutorials to get started. This is a good one, and it's interactive.
