If by "an API" you mean "JSON sent over the network" then I don't really see too much of an advantage in: database -> server side program -> JSON -> network -> client side program -> HTML -> browser renderer

over

database -> server side program -> HTML -> network -> browser renderer

The main advantage is when you have degraded connectivity. Your client app behaves like an app (or app-like web site).
