What can I do with a local API?

I see this feature in desktop 2.0, but have no idea of what it is and how to use it. So perhaps a short tutorial

    @mashevloff, some people want to collect the data that the desktop generates from their network and pipe it into another application or system, possibly for further analysis or trending.  The API is a programmatic way to do this.  Without the api, you would have to generate a report, parse it and then move it into whatever process they want to run.  The API makes the process more straight forward.
