At a concept level - what you are looking for is device drivers.

For your specific hardware, please contact manufacturer and ask it's
documentation.   Perhaps they are also providing a library of
functions (API).

Worst case scenario - there is no API you would have to write your own
device drivers and they are written mostly in C.
