Where exactly would I find "in libkipi API" ?

I'll check that.

This depends on what the API is able to do. 

Some tasks I have in mind:

* I have some proprietary image conversion skripts that I'd like to
  call

* I need to export some images to blogs and professional image agencys

* The geolocation plugin has a flaw, I did not yet find a way to
  geolocate JPG images without altering (just put the location in the
  database as with raw images - it's so scary that images shrink by
  geolocation and spoils any backup strategy)

* In general I'd like to write an adapter to scripting, i.e. just a
  plugin that calls a Ruby interpreter that itself can execute
  anything written in Ruby

* I did not yet find a proper way to prepare an external slide show
  with digikam
