After quick glance at the Photon code it doesn't look like it is using
any kind of API. It knows about a couple of blog systems -- MT,
TypePad, Photopia, Wordpress, and Blojsom -- and hand crafts a URL
specific to that system to create a category. It has a hardcoded method
when dealing with MT to login and then create a URL of the form:
__mode=save_cat&blog_id=XX&category-new=XX&category-new-parent-0=XX
If my understanding is correct, Photon won't ever work with Typo unless
Photon is changed. (Or, I guess, Typo is changed to accept the above
strange URL and do something useful with it.)
