Everything that you could do yourself with a keyboard and mouse can be replicated with Sikuli as long as you can describe the procedure in a consistent way using visual patterns on your screen.

For example in your case:

1. Locate (directly or relative to another object on the screen) textbox on the screen
2. Select text in textbox
3. Copy the text
4. Locate the second element that you want to paste your text int
5. Click into it
6. Paste

I think you have some misconception about how Sikuli works..

What it really does, is just simulating user PHYSICAL behavior. So tasks like moving/clicking mouse or using your keyboard.
So you have to think about the scenario you wish to automate as a sequence of user actions. Now, the way Sikuli finds the objects on the screen is via visual recognition.

So to focus on your specific case, you have to ask yourself, what are the the actions that have to undertake to send this web service call? If that's typing a text into a field or maybe clicking a button that's one thing that Sikuli can help you with. But if you are talking about web service API, Sikuli won't offer you much.

Does that make sense?
