The JSON-RPC and XML-RPC API is still not "officially supported" (read: 
documented), though it's extremely unlikely to change.
If you need an example, run any ipa command with -vv, this will print 
out the request & response.
API.txt in the source tree lists all the commands and params.
This blog post still applies (but be sure to read the update about 
--cacert):
