API web site SearchBox??
OK, so I believe there may be a terminology conflict that may be causing some of the confusion. First of all the API (Application Programming Interface) is a step above iLogic, so the API and iLogic are not the same thing. The Inventor's API is the main system for all types of programming platforms to be able to access Inventor and all the Inventor specific stuff within Inventor. Then iLogic is the name of an Inventor Add-in which can access the Inventor API, and gives us a built-in user interface and a bunch of shortcut ways of doing stuff in Inventor. Those shortcut 'ways' , often referred to as iLogic snippets, are just the tip of the iceberg bit of code that they show us to be able to use, and when we use them, there is usually a bunch of other hidden code that actually gets ran in the background that makes those iLogic snippets work so easily. Take the iProperties.Value() snippet for example. There is a Sub or Function code(s) somewhere within the iLogic add-in files, behind the scenes, that will run when you use that snippet, to make it work. That other code in the background is most likely using the API to accomplish the purpose/functionality of that snippet. On the flip side, you can access those iProperties without using that iLogic snippet, by using the API route directly, which will bypass iLogic, and access those iProperties through the API Object Model hierarchy: from Application, to the Document, to the PropertySets, to the Property object, then use the available Properties and Methods that the API has defined under the Property object (to do stuff with it). When other programming platforms like VBA or Visual Studio work with Inventor's iProperties, they do it using the API route, instead of using iLogic or those iLogic snippets, which only exist within the iLogic add-in. Basically, Inventor's main API system is better documented, and generally more reliable to use than iLogic is, but using the iLogic add-in is supposed to be much simpler to use for those with no programming experience. Whew...😅

These are the two main places I always look for stuff specific to Inventor's API system.

(EDIT: You may need to change the product year in that link to see what is available in your specific versions.)

Then other stuff not covered under or specific to Inventor, like VB.NET stuff, because iLogic uses the VB.NET programming language, I look online in general searches that usually start with "vb.net" (then what I'm trying to do). Especially when you see a Sub or Function (method) or Object being used that you don't recognize, and it doesn't appear to be Inventor specific, and you want to know more about it.
Then, to get better at vb.net, there are several online resources that offer tutorials, like the following links:
Tutorial: Get started with Visual Basic in Visual Studio
...and others.

In your version go to the Help button/pull down and look for "API help' or something similar in the drop down. This will open the API help file locally on your machine and you can search within it, and look at the included examples section.
Please disregard this, I misunderstood your question. wait, maybe not??? I'm not sure, but check out the local API help either way, if you're not aware of it.
