API = Application Programming Interface
All that means is a library of functions that programmers can use to achieve some result.
For example IBM provides an API that you can use to access DB2 programmatically. This is the DB2 API. Someone once authored a DataStage stage that invokes functions in the DB2 API. This stage is called the DB2 API.
There is also an API for working programmatically with DataStage. This is called the DataStage API. The dsjob command is an example of a program that uses functions in the DataStage API.
