Choice of web application framework

I chose Symfony2 as web application framework because it is a stable environment, it has a great comunity and a great documentation, it's free and it's not that hard to learn. Laravel is also a microframework based on Symfony 2

And also, this is the framework I used for about 3 years :)

Different API consumers usage

It is very simple to use. For instance, on web applications you can use AngularJS or other client-side javascript libraries and simply make an XMLHttpRequest to one of the exposed endpoints to get the desired data.
