How to load API's located in a subdirectory

I'm trying to load an API located in a subdirectory (I have to have it in a subdirectory, as I'm loading it from a cc-get repo.)

However, I can't seem to get it to load.

I've tried stuff like os.loadAPI("/bin/foldername/apiname")
and os.loadAPI("bin/foldername/apiname")

But I can't seem to get it to work, some ways, It can load the API without an error, but when I try to use apiname.apifunction("derpparams") i get the following error:

For input string: "apiname"

…Which makes no sense to me…

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Works fine for me.

Within the computer, i had a folder 'mainFolder' and within there i had another folder called 'apis' and within there I had an api called 'myAPI'

os.unloadAPI("mainFolder/apis/myAPI") -- Try adding this? Although, I removed it and it still worked fine.
os.loadAPI("mainFolder/apis/myAPI")

myAPI.test("lol")

the api:

function test(text)
print(text)
end

it printed "lol" fine with no error.

Otherwise, try moving it to the main folder and then loading it and then moving it back?

fs.move("mainFolder/apis/myAPI", "myAPI")
os.unloadAPI("myAPI")
os.loadAPI("myAPI")
fs.move("myAPI", "mainFolder/apis/myAPI")

myAPI.test("lol")

I'm not at a computer where I can test really, but now that I think of it, that could very easily be the problem.

I forgot that API's are loaded onto the entire computer, not just the program that I wish to run, and had the os.loadAPI() in it.

I beleive I had already loaded an api with the same name earlier from a different folder (testing stuffs) so that could have very easily been conflicting.

Doing as you said (below) will hopefully remedy the problem.

os.unloadAPI("mainFolder/apis/myAPI") -- Try adding this? Although, I removed it and it still worked fine.
os.loadAPI("mainFolder/apis/myAPI")

myAPI.test("lol")

Thanks, by the way.
