What is your question?

Seems that the two packages are used to implement some parts of TiCDC OpenAPI.

@asddongmen Can we merge the two packages?

@lonng,tiflow/cdc/api provides the OpenAPI implementation, while tiflow/pkg/api accompanied with a rest client is used to interacting with the OpenAPI. At present, tiflow/pkg/api is mainly used by cli commands. In the future, it can be extracted to another standalone project such as 'tiflow-client-go'. What's your opinion? @asddongmen @sdojjy

Yes, I believe that we can merge these two packages in the near future.
