> API cannot transfer blocks of data?

This seems like a deliberate and silly misunderstand on your part.

If you don’t realize that most API’s generally do more than simply transfer arbitrary blocks of data, then you have lied about your experience as a developer.

HTTP is just a transfer protocol. It’s in the name.
