Include page and make api call

[chief stains]

I am trying to make an api call to a php script on another server while including the same php script on my server. Am i going about this the right way or does anybody have any ideas of how to do it?

usually if you make a call to an API on another server it will return data back to you. You shouldn't need to include that api script (I am assuming that is the file you are trying to include).

the api call will open an application which requires user interaction and then, when they are finished, the data is returned... is there any way to do this..?

sure

Does this API not come with some kind of manual? or some kind of prepared code? or even a list of supported methods?

depending on what it is you are doing it could be done using SOAP, cURL or maybe even sockets.
