If you mean creating release definition with stages and specific tasks, then you can call the Definitions - Create REST API.
For example to add a stage with the IIS Web App Deploy task:
POST : https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=6.0
Request Body: (Of course, you need to replace the parameters accordingly. You can also capture the Request Body(Payload) by pressing F12 when creating a release definition from the UI)
