Answer 1

A web service API typically just communicates over the HTTP protocol. You send some specific requests and receive answers in a certain format, the same thing your browser does with websites. cURL is a great tool to do so.

The specifics will really depend on the API in question, you should study whatever documentation they provide for it.

Answer 2

If you are working with APIS that are based on xml and support the soap protocol a better idea will be just to use soap then curl (less code needed)
