Amanda -- I wouldn't worry too much about getting the final details of
the suggested API 'right' at the proposal stage. API design is a
subtle and often hard job, so if your project is accepted we'd expect
you to work with the mentors to explore and develop this further both
in the 'bonding' period and across the summer. (Some aspects of APIs
aren't even obvious until you'd actually implemented a draft of it and
written some sample code; sometimes you then have to go back and
rethink things.)
