I don't want to add product in virtue mart by inserting directly in database. what is the best way to add  custom product by coding in my module using api ?
i can list products by accessing vm model like -

$productModel = VmModel::getModel('Product');
$products = $productModel->getProductListing('random', '10', '1', true, false,'1','1');
but don't know which functions does product adding properly.

Please help.

I would need the same info... and for Categories too.
Or do we have to wait till virtuemart integrates the front-end adding function?

We've done a lot of custom integration with VM2 and usually have found that it's simplest to write our own API the way we want than to try to leverage the VM2 calls.

Another option would be to get a copy of a VM2 import extension like CSV Improved (http://www.csvimproved.com/) and examine the code they are using to import products and categories. That should jump start you on your way a lot faster than trying to figure it out from scratch.

i have exactly the same issue, and csvi is not a great help, cause its classes are really messy and complicated, related to his primary function of csv import... myplace2000, did you find a way to do this ?

Aren't xml and soap protocols not helpful for such task?
