Hello Jonathan, Happy to hear Mosh is helpful! Re: an API, you might take a look at how the mosh-client program is implemented (https://github.com/keithw/mosh/blob/master/src/frontend/mosh-client.cc). It instantiates an STMClient object, calls the init() method, and then the main() method, which encapsulates the whole eventloop.
Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but maybe if you tell us some more about your use case we might be able to be more helpful. As you probably know, Mosh is really only useful for conveying an interactive terminal over the network; it's not really set up to be a general communications layer for arbitrary streams.
