I've been in a similar work conundrum. Try to keep an email trail of your communications about this. Be nice when reminding them that this work is redundant because there's an existing API.

Are the people or person that is telling you to ignore the API your superior? Do you report to them directly?

Oh i have the whole instant messenger trial and emails. I think if it comes down to it i am going to sit them down and walk through everything ive been doing bit by bit so they can see i am doing what they have asked of me. Problem is, there will only be a partially functioning product because its obviously not complete.

Yes, they are my superior but this project is going to result in failure, in my opinion. And they have to present something to their superior every so often and i am pretty sure that time is coming up in a few months. Jeez, what if someone starts freaking out? I didnt even consider that. They could start pointing fingers or even have a procedure in place for blaming the underlings.
