Trademark is not a problem unless you are selling the product, after all you can just do a global search and replace to change the name. And neither trademark nor copyright cover the use of ordinary English words in ordinary technical contexts. APIs are like recipes and telephone directories, the expression is protected but not the mere lists of ingredients.

Of course I have probably expressed this a little too strongly, I'm sure there are edge cases to worry about.
