Now, what should I do to make the two applications can interact with each other?

What is the best practice for doing this? Creating and using API or something else?

You can implement REST services and call them from applications. It should ge very easy to do e.g. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/23965370/RESTful-XML-Web-Services-with-Ruby-on-Rails
