If you are looking for serialization, this will do:

            var apiResponse = new ApiResponse() { api_name = "test api" };

            using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(@"apiData.xml"))
            {
                var ser = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(
                    typeof(ApiResponse), new XmlRootAttribute("newRoot"));
                ser.Serialize(writer,apiResponse);
            }

Edit:

To return a string, you can use a stringwriter.

var apiResponse = new ApiResponse() { api_name = "test api" };                
using (stringwriter = new StringWriter())
{
    var ser = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(
    typeof(ApiResponse));
    ser.Serialize(stringwriter,apiResponse);
    var xmlString= stringwriter.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
    return xmlString;
}
