Yeah I think Dan has given the overview on the DBus API. one month ago I 
asked the same question....
So if u know the DBus really well then u can dig it out from the code
I can tell you the Method names that u can call from the DBus Interface
Details I think Dan can give it to u or u can find out from the code.

These are not all APIs but important one

1) wpa_supplicant interface
a) addInterface argument:Interface name returns: object path
b) getInterface argument: Interface name return: object path
2) wpa_supplicant Interface interface
a) scan
b) scanResults returns: array of bssids
c) setAPScan argument: integer returns: success or failure
d) addNetwork returns: network object path
e)selectNetwork argument: network object path returns: scuccess or failure
3) wpa_supplicant bssid interface
a) properties returns: hash containing the properties of that bssid
4) wpa_supplicant network interface
a) disable returns: success or failure
b) set argument: hash table with all properties returns: success or Failure
c) enable returns: success or failure

I used following APIs only but there are more Available u have to see 
the code
Also hash table is format is also specified, Dan gave example of SSID.

I request Dan that he should create a WEB page for DBus API...
Lots of people can contribute to those API then
