There is no C++ API, there is a standard library if that is what you mean.

I usually use the documentation that comes with the compiler. In most
cases it is browsable and does tell you what header files to
include...etc. However that kind of information is often only useful as
reference, i.e. if you already know which function or class you need. If
you don't know that a good C++ book is handy to have.
