It's quite likely that I'm confusing "decent API" and "ease of extending and integrating" and all that gets wrapped up with my long term familiarity with Nagios.
Nagios check plugins don't have an API per se, but they have a very simple standard for exit codes to be interpreted by the Orchestration component.
Nagios reporting/alerting plugins primarily use RRD, so you always have that API to do interesting things like trend analysis.
(One theory I have is that there is a such a large and growing culture of technologists that are thinking "integration tool" but only know how to say "HTTP API")
