Output JSON file for API

How do I output a JSON file to use for the API?

So I have an Alteryx workflow. I need to output data to be used by API for a web application.  

I really need to push the data from the Alteryx workflow to the web API.

Do you have any details on the web API ?  Most times the API will require JSON data in the response body (depending on how the API was written) and you JSON encode the field that contains that data that you are wanting to submit to the API

Can you tell me what detail I should Know from the web API? I have no details about the API but I can ask for that. And can you tell me what are the options we have in Alteryx for the JSON output ? Or the tools we should use before producing the JSON file?

There has to be documentation about the API so that you know how to format the data that you are going to feed to it.  Without that documentation it's almost impossible to figure out what to do.
