Hello
first of all, there is no official API.
second, you can manipulate a Pd patch by "sending messages around". this is (inofficially!) documented by several people, and usually called "dynamic patching". there is also a tutorial by damien henry called "pd-msg" which is included in Pd-extended (though last time i checked it seemed to be horribly outdated)
since the messages can originate from wherever using OSC, midi and whatnot, i guess this is what you are looking for.
