An open API can implement a protocol yet a protocol is different from an API because it exists as a specification for communication or actions. An open API is also typically owned by the entity running it while a protocol doesn't necessarily need to be run in the same way depending on what it defines. An example: HTTP as a protocol describes how we all communicate and AWS S3 uses HTTP to function but as an API is not a protocol itself.
