Ken, I know what's going on here. You are no longer connected to the Wolfram Cloud, right? Try this:
CloudConnect[ "email-wolframID" , "password" ]
DatabinAdd[Databin["BinID"], DeviceRead["RaspiCam"]]
I wasn't able to reproduce your error, but then I logged out from the Wolfram Cloud with
CloudDisconnect[]
and when I tried DatabinAdd, I got the error reported by you:
Databin::apierr : An API must be specified
