There are some tools that use a script instead of an api call
A tool being a script doesn't mean it's not using API calls. Although I suppose an autoit script could be used to find delete buttons on a screen. Still a pain in the butt rather than just using the API calls.
Clicking the delete button on the website just makes your browser send API calls (albeit maybe a different, private API than other scripts may use)
