The speed is based on the server response times. While many APIs take milliseconds to respond, I’ve had some take several seconds.

Which API are you using? What kind of response time are you seeing? Are you just calling the API once or repeatedly during a session of using the app?

This will be dependent upon your internet speed and what you do with the api response. If you need to process the returned data, expect a short delay. If you use the response directly, you should expect close to no delay (due to computations). That said, if you have slow internet, your Api calls will by default also be slow.
