I'm not really sure if this is the right forum or not.

If there anyway to tell from an API if the account has 3 toons.

I got a API Key from a new recruit, he's a 2009 toon, it's has only 2 toons on the key.
He says that he has an empty slot on his account..

Personally i don't believe him.
But i was wondering if there is anyway api wise to see if all slots or full or empty..

I believe it only returns all character if he has set the API key to include all characters.
Check http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_API_Account_Characters for more information.

APIKeyInfo can return info about the API key type.

It can be either 'Account' type, which reveals all characters in an account, or 'Character' type which reveals only the character that the key is bound to.

Bottom line, if you are seeing two characters in the provided API key then those are indeed the characters on the account.

This. The API can either show just one character or all characters. If you're seeing two of them, then it must be showing all characters.
