I looked into this (autodoc for non-Python domains) a while back, and IIRC a domain can have something called a "Documentor" which is expected to do this. I don't think there is any documentation for this, I'm pretty sure you'd have to look into the autodoc code to figure out how to do this.
However, depending on what code you are trying to generate API docs for, there may be other solutions. For example, if the language in question is supported by Doxygen, you can generate Sphinx API docs from Doxygen XML output by using the Breathe Sphinx extension. We've done this in a recent project with good results.
