I would argue the FHIR provides such an API. It also includes the SNOMED Expression Constraint Language (ECL) as part of the spec. This is why we chose it as the basis I for our terminology server, Ontoserver, which is now the basis for Australia's National Clinical Terminology Service (www.healthterminologies.gov.au)
We also built a little UI to demonstrate use of ECL through FHIR at https://ontoserver.csiro.au/shrimp-fhir/ecl.html click on the help link for a range of simple and more complex query examples.
