An API (Application Programming Interface) is simply a set of libraries that provides a set of common classes that allows an application programmer to write the 'business' side of an application. So there is no such thing as "a Roadmap or Learning material for learning about APi's.", since each one is unique to its language or framework.

If your question is about a specific one, such as .NET, MFC, PHP, Javascrpt etc., then the online documentation will give you all the details.
