Hi, as of now, Customer Ledger Entries does not have a standard API, but there is a standard Web Service, which you can access using the Odata URL below.

https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/c8558e71-6ad8-4fcd-9f29-3ca165b41bbe/Sandbox223/ODataV4/Company('My%20Company')/Cust_LedgerEntries

Below is the standard code for all standard APIs V2.0.

PS: Dynamics 365 Business Central: Can we extend standard APIs? – Download Standard Source Code for APIs

You can't post directly to any ledger entries page in Business Central. This goes against how the system works. To post something, you need to use documents or a journal. So if you post documents such as sales orders, or journals where the entry is against a customer, you would be created customer ledger entries indirectly. You can do this using APIs

You don't have a standard API; you can use the OData Services, but you cannot create ledger entries directly by using API. You need to use Sales Documents or Journals to create ledger entries.

Check the second blog, which describes how the entries are created.

You are not supposed to post directly to Customer Ledger Entries because there are a lot of tables related to this.

You need to create and post through a document or journal.
