is there two different codebases or one for both?

if one, then you need to specify the db you use whilst making queries or set a default one..

i cant see why else it would be using same

There are two different code bases. When I test the browser http: //api.local/test it connects to the database that is configured at http://api.local. But when I test at http://site.local with a get_file_contents('http://api.local/test') it connects to the database set in http: //site.local
