Description:

libnvidia-api.so.1 doesn't seem to be included in any Arch package but is present in Nvidia's driver release packages. NVAPI is a new addition in the 525 series and serves as an interface for managing properties of GPUs[1] (but this version is not as feature-rich as the Windows one).

I'm not actually sure if nvidia-utils is the proper package for it but this is where I'd look for a library like that one.

Additional info:
* package version: nvidia-utils=525.89.02-1

Steps to reproduce:
# pacman -S nvidia-utils
$ file /usr/lib/libnvidia-api.so.1
/usr/lib/libnvidia-api.so.1: cannot open `/usr/lib/libnvidia-api.so.1' (No such file or directory)

Expected result:
$ file /usr/lib/libnvidia-api.so.1
/usr/lib/libnvidia-api.so.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=…, stripped
