Which API? ReST, Java, JavaScript (server-side), JavaScript (client-side, e.g. NPM module "alfresco-js-api")?

If you want meaningful help please be a bit more elaborate on your questions.

That is the new v1 ReST API. It allows to complete a task by performing an update on it via a PUT request on /tasks/{taskId}. See the details of that operation on how to transition / complete / claim a task.

There is no approve and reject function.

Of course not. "Approve" and "Reject" are just arbitrary outcomes and each workflow / task may have very different outcomes. The outcome of a task is determined by an update to the corresponding task variable that needs to be set as part of the update.

Keep in mind that it is the Alfresco Share UI "fakes" those "Approve" / "Reject" decision buttons, but technically it does nothing special except update the task variable and simply "complete" the task.
