Docs: Added syntax highlighting in certain `json` and `shell` codeblocks in api.md

Problem
API documentation codeblocks lacked syntax identifiers, breaking code highlighting in developer guides.
Change
Added explicit language specifiers (json, shell) across API markdown endpoint documentation.

Fix: silent exception swallowing in C API factory functions

Problem
A blanket catch(...) block in C API factory functions swallowed standard exceptions, masking initialization errors.
Change
Allowed standard exceptions to propagate while preserving C API ABI compatibility and clean error states.
