Detailed explanation-1: -Google Cloud APIs are programmatic interfaces to Google Cloud Platform services. They are a key part of Google Cloud Platform, allowing you to easily add the power of everything from computing to networking to storage to machine-learning-based data analysis to your applications.
Detailed explanation-2: -The APIs provide functionality like analytics, machine learning as a service (the Prediction API) or access to user data (when permission to read the data is given). Another important example is an embedded Google map on a website, which can be achieved using the Static Maps API, Places API or Google Earth API.
Detailed explanation-3: -googleapis covers all these APIs (drive, calendar, admin sdk, maps, etc) whereas google-cloud covers the cloud platform stuff like bigquery, datastore, cloud storage, bigtable, pub/sub, etc.
