QEMU does not have something directly equivalent to VMware's SDK for storage.
But there is a very powerful API called libguestfs. Maybe it does
what you want:
http://libguestfs.org/
libvirt has APIs for snapshotting and managing storage:

QEMU's qemu-img supports JSON output to make it easy to parse.
qemu-nbd can be used for read-write access.
There was an attempt to create something called libqblock but the work
was never completed. I guess your approach is similar:
