Just to stress and support Georg's explanation: the API is *not* defined through the documentation, but instead primarily through the header files. All functions declared as PyAPI_FUNC and not starting with _Py are public API. There used to be a lot of undocumented API (up to 1.4, there was no API documentation at all, only the extension module tutorial); these days, more and more API gets documented.
