Actually Vojtech is correct, as this is a problem only for UI plugins,
because they share the session created by webadmin. Webadmin creates the
session using /ovirt-engine/api, so it won't work if UI plugins try to
use it with /api.

For any other clients using the RESTAPI this isn't a problem, both /api
and /ovirt-engine/api work correctly.

Anyhow, it is good if you update your clients to use /ovirt-engine/api
instead of /api, as /api may be deprecated in the future. But at the
moment /api is 100% supported, except for UI plugins.
