How do you make an API? I.e have a bunch of functions that you could call with api.function()?

lets say you made some function like this:
Save this as the file myApi
Save that and find the file. Outsides of mc, Make sure it has no extensions it is supposed to be a file file.
then goto minecraft/mods/computercraft/lua/rom/apis
Put the file in there and reboot CC pc.
now in anyfile you can do :
Save this as the file myApi
function sayHello(thing)
print("hello"..thing..")
end
function clearScreen()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
end
Save that and find the file. Outsides of mc, Make sure it has no extensions it is supposed to be a file file.
then goto minecraft/mods/computercraft/lua/rom/apis
Put the file in there and reboot CC pc.
now in anyfile you can do :
myApi.sayHello(sjele)
--or
myApi.clearScreen()

Cool. Can you just use os.loadAPI with the file on the computer or a floppy?

Yeh, i belive so. But if you have it in apis folder they auto load.
