Desktop application API access through Web application

I have a desktop application written in C++. That application also have some apis written for some general purposes like:- fetching list , etc.

Currently the application is installed on various systems and there is a single main server on which data gets stored.

Issue is user can not access the data using different locations.

Now we are planning to move it on web so that user can access data from anywhere in the world.

So, is it possible to access the desktop application api using the web application?

When we open the website then it will also open the desktop application on the desktop then after login we would like to access the apis written in desktop application and show the data in web app.

Any help would be highly appreciable!

As I just understood you have an Desktop application on multiple systems and you want to have access to the same data? Right? So you have multiple options in that case. A very simple way is to install a database on a server (like mysql) and connect the app directly to that database. Than you can easily write/read/update/delete data from that db. Also you can write an API on that server with the database and fetch the data over that web api with your application.
