How does lua define the API commands that need to be used in the lua file for easy calling?

calling the api in the target process or inside CE?
If inside CE I recommend plugins that add the new API's (though next version will allow pure lua as well)

if inside the target I recommend executeCodeEx
Code:

executeCodeEx(callmethod, timeout, address, {type,value},{type,value},...)
  Calls a function using the given callmethod and parameters
  callmethod: 0=stdcall, 1=cdecl
  timeout: Number of milliseconds to wait for a result. nil or -1, infitely. 0 is no wait (will not free the call memory, so beware of it's memory leak)
  address: Address to execute
  {type,value} : Table containing the value type, and the value
    {
    type: 0=integer (32/64bit) can also be a pointer
          1=float (32-bit float)
          2=double (64-bit float)
          3=ascii string (will get converted to a pointer to that string)
          4=wide string (will get converted to a pointer to that string)
     
    value: anything base type that lua can interpret
    }
 

  Returns the E/RAX value returned by the called function (if no timeout or other interruption)
