[Mediawiki-api] How does API work?

hello, Sorry to post a very basic question as I am new to API I couldnt get the overall idea of using API as I went through the mediawiki API. I still wonder how does it work in general? I have a xml file and want to export to wiki using api I want to use this API through a programming language VB I still wonder how would it be possible? and how do we display pages using api?
