No they aren't, as that would break backwards compatibility for users
that connect to old engines that only support /api. However, the URL of
the entry point of the API is a parameter to the API constructor, so
users can (and should) specify the complete URL:
Python: api = API(url="https://whatever/ovirt-engine/api", ...)
Not sure about the Java API, but the Python API actually supports both
forms. So it must be attempting to add the path element if not present.
a)

username='admin@internal',
password='sec',
ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem')

>> print '%s.%s.%s' % (ver.get_major(), ver.get_minor(),
ver.get_revision())
3.3.0
b)
>> from ovirtsdk.api import API
>> api = API(url='https://localhost/',
username='admin@internal',

ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem')
>> ver = api.get_product_info().get_version()
>> print '%s.%s.%s' % (ver.get_major(), ver.get_minor(),
ver.get_revision())
3.3.0
Java: api = new API("https://whatever/ovirt-engine/api",
...)
