I can see that Sony made an application named Remote Camera Control that controls a Sony camera over USB. Is there somewhere where I can find maybe the API or SDK to communicate with this camera like the Remote Camera Control does?

Smart Control is perfect for wildlife photographers or photographers or videographers who want to be in front of the camera but still control it. Sony's Smart Control is used in conjunction with the Play Memories app, which is available for both Apple and Android users.
Sony's Camera Remote SDK (software development kit) gives software developers the tools they need to seamlessly integrate Sony cameras into their organization's workflow, across a wide spectrum of applications and solutions.
The Camera SDK is a free development package that enables users to control and capture from NaturalPoint cameras in order to create custom tracking and vision applications.
There is a lot of ressources on Developer Sony website
Unfortunately, Remote control over USB is not possible using public API. This might be modified in a soon futur by Sony but for the moment you have to give a look to unofficial library like this Github projet which try to provide such control (but is 6 years old and has not been updated since).
This post on stackoverflow refer to "the PTP protocol for libgphoto" which seems an option ... I don't know much about that.
What about Sony Remote camera control which might provide some API ... worst case you can have some code to simulate a click (like a robot) but thats a terrible option :D
