The question I'd ask at this point is - does the term 'instance of the 
API' correspond to a Python class, or an instance of the class that you 
define? In case you want to have one class per API, you'd have multiple 
classes in which case metaclasses *may* be useful (but still not 
required). In case you want to have one instance per API such that each 
instance has a different set of methods,  you don't need metaclasses at all.
