The Draft Arc command creates a circular arc on the current working plane from a center, a radius, a start angle and an aperture angle. The radius and the angles can be defined by picking points.
A Draft Arc is in fact a Draft Circle with a DadosFirst Angle that is not the same as its DadosLast Angle.
Arc defined by four points, center, radius, initial point of arc and final point of arc

To create a Draft Arc use the make_circle
method (introduced in version 0.19) of the Draft module. This method replaces the deprecated makeCircle
method.
Example:
import FreeCAD as App
import Draft
doc = App.newDocument()
arc1 = Draft.make_circle(200, startangle=0, endangle=90)
arc2 = Draft.make_circle(500, startangle=20, endangle=160)
arc3 = Draft.make_circle(750, startangle=-30, endangle=-150)
doc.recompute()
