Is an official API including documentation is available? Yes, there is https://www.axis.com/techsup/developer_doc/acap3/3.2/main/html/index.html https://www.axis.com/products/online-manual/s00004#t10160862

@Apollon77 does the tag "Hardware needed" mean you will implement it, when you get the hardware? Sorry, I am not familiar with the meaning of the tags yet.

[Apollon77]

No, it is more the generic "any dev that find time and be interested in tat would need hardware to do it". So yes If you can offer access to te HW or such then write it here, might be then interesting for the relevant developer

[dalig83]

OK, thanks, understood. I will try to find a way to get HW.

AXIS offers a "Virtual loan tool"

Get online access to an Axis product to run integration compatibility tests and product tests. The subscription includes full access to the product for a day, and you can upload ACAP applications, take control of PTZ functions, etc. Due to port forwarding limitations, video can only be streamed using RTSP over HTTP, or using Multipart MJPEG.

The number of products available in the loan tool is limited. Please return the product as soon as you are finished with it.

Once the product has been returned it will automatically be reset to factory default settings and re-appear in the list of available products. This process may take up to 10 minutes.

Would this also help?
