When using variables you are responsible for proper encoding of
URIs used.

If you really want to use proxy_pass with variables, try this
instead:

location /api/ {
rewrite ^/api(/.*) $1 break;
proxy_pass http://api.$host;
}

It relies on the fact that if there is no URI at all, original
request uri will be used.

Though I would recommend using hardcoded name instead. Note that
using proxy_pass with variables implies various other side
effects, notably use of resolver for dynamic name resolution, and
generally less effective than using names in a configuration.
