Unit about Moments of Inertia returned by API

It seems an error about unit for moment of inertia returned by Fusion360 API.

In the document of Fusion360 API, the unit of MoI is kg/cm^2. However, unit for MoI should be mass*length^2.

The unit of MoI displayed in the UI is g mm^2.

So, what exactly is the unit for MoI returned by Fusion360 API?

This is so funny because so several post have mentioned kg/cm^2 but did not point this error that makes me very confused.
So, the correct unit that returned by the API is kg*cm^2, right?
