Shouldn’t the API response be the exact response you would get if you sent the same input to ChatGPT, assuming it’a the same model ?

No, ChatGPT is more than just a UI for the OpenAI API. Web requests are a feature built into ChatGPT using the API's support for function calls, but the API doesn't make any external web requests by itself.
The API doesn't have access to the web search functionality unless something changed.
