'ssh' is a (set of) command line utilities.  It's not a library, so
there isn't an API.

I am pretty sure that you are thinking of SSL.. which *is* a set of
libraries that can be used for encrypted transactions.  You will be
looking for OpenSSL.  You can use it with C, C++, Perl, Python and
pretty much everything else.
