There is an openthesaurus project. But not in English. See

http://www.openthesaurus.de/faq.php#english

http://www.openthesaurus.de/faq.php#item13 (the PDF is in English)

I am surprised that English is not supported by them yet since public
domain thesaurus are available.

As for API, I don't know. It looks like this project just provides data.
