It depends exactly what you mean. All incoming calls to Asterisk enter
the dial plan. If the relevant part of the dial plan contains a Dial()
command to call a phone, then that phone will normally ring until it
is picked up, at which time Asterisk considers the call answered.

I think you are asking how, from within the API, you can answer a
ringing call in a different way. If so, that's easy. Just use the
Redirect command to transfer the incoming channel to a different
extension in the dial plan which answers the call how you want it to.

The bit that requires thought is keeping track of the API Events so
that you know which channel to redirect.
