Any ideas, please?

pg_stat_statement is a global tracker that throws away execution context,
in this case the process id, needed to track the level of detail you
desire.  I think the best you can do is log all statements and durations to
the log file and parse that.

For the "what queries are invoked by it" you can just read the source
code...

As there is no canned solution to provide the answer you seek the final
solution you come up with will be influenced by your access patterns,
specific needs, and (in)ability to write C code (though maybe there is an
extension out there you could leverage...).

If you have big queries you almost certainly will want to bump your
"track_activity_query_size" value bigger to be able to capture the whole
query.

You are going to have to find the queries in the api source code.  If they
are not distinct enough to easily figure out which was which you can do
things to make them distinct.  One of the easiest things is to add a
"literal" column to the query:

select
  'query_1',
   first_name,
...

Then when you look in the query statements in the database you can see that
literal column and tell which query it was that invoked it.

You can also make them unique by renaming columns:

select
  first_name as 'query1_first_name'
...

Depending on your ORM or whether your api calls queries directly, you could
add comments to the query as well:
select
  -- this one is query 1
  first_name,
...

Unfortunately there is no out of the box "github hook" that can
automatically connect a query from your postgresql logs to the lines of
code in your api.

If you can change the application then one option is to set application_name so 
that it contains API function name. This should happen before the first call in 
API function hits the database. After the API function finishes it should reset 
application_name.

Then you can enable logging of all queries and set the format to include 
application_name parameter. This way every query is logged and each log entry 
has an application name.

Several things to keep in mind:
1. logging everything may affect performance
2. application_name is 64 chars by default
