x86 images run the fastest in the emulator. If you see Download next to the system image, you need to click it to download the system image.
Google API is for developing Google-based services such as Google Maps. Android API is for developing Android apps. Show activity on this post. google API:- it uses all google specific libraries like google map,search engine,sign in.
A system image is used to create different Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) and emulate the different Android devices in common use. As developer workstations are usually Intel x86 based, the ARM instruction set had to be emulated as well.
The play image has the Google Play store already installed and you can install apps, but there is no root access as it is a production build and not a debug build.

The main difference between Google API system image and Google Play system image basically lays on the capabilities of each one to access the Google Play Store directly or not. Here is for more explanation regarding that matter.
Hope, could be a helped for the other.
