I'm assuming that both teams are technical. If so, I don't see any reason as to why your own team can't build the API that they need.

Become an autonomous team, break down all dependencies.

This is sometimes what happens, but it's far less efficient than the ideal. Specialization means that our engineers don't have to spend such a big chunk of their time learning different code bases and build systems.
