If there is a bug on Pywikibot side, probably there is somewhere some of these variables hardcoded somewhere or incorrectly chosen a default or maybe generate_family_file is not correctly making scriptpath and apipath variables when you insert api path to it, so try to
Dvorapa added a comment.
The variables recognized by Pywikibot you can modify in your family file:
Single code/lang wiki:
name = example
dbname = examplewiki
protocol = http/https (default https)
domain = www.example.com
scriptpath = '/w'
apipath = '/api.php'
langs[name] = www.example.com
Dvorapa added a comment.
As @zhuyifei1999 suggested, you should make sure the api uri properly if it leads where it should and set the proper uri to def apipath(): return 'http://path to api.php' into your family file.
Also you should check the output what you get from API, what it looks like.

Oh I see, uri: /api.php is printed. Is wiki.[REDACTED].com/api.php your mediawiki API endpoint if you visit in your browser? An API endpoint looks like https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.phpTASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T196683EMAIL
