Magento 1.9 API - how to get sales of product from orders?

Question

Trying to get some information about products sales based on SKU. How can I do it ?

Do I have to pull all data orders then loop it trough or can I ask for sale of specified product directly ?

What I would like to achieve is: how many of SKUXXXX was sold within last month. Is it possible via API ? (hope it is)

According to the Magento's official API reference, I don't think that the current core API can achieve your demand.

The solution is to extend/create another endpoint based on the existing API. These are some useful tutorial:
