e-Borders was scrapped due to missing timelines/promises. Only 11 air carriers were providing submissions in 2013 (see 5.4 on page 16) and there is no indication that data is even being used to drive any kiosks or during inspection as the primary benefit of matching against watch list itself wasn’t even utilized as promised.

I see 5.4 talking about PNR, not API.
I had two “foreign” passports, none of which qualified for egates at the time. The officer questioned why I wasn’t using the US passport which I hadn’t shown. He knew from whatever he saw.
Canada didn’t use API until a few years ago. Schengen remains disorganized.
