All you have to do, is modify your ConfigureServices like this:

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddDbContext(item => item.UseSqlServer(
            Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"), 
            b => b.MigrationsAssembly("Project.Api")));

        services.AddIdentity()
                .AddEntityFrameworkStores()
                .AddDefaultTokenProviders();
    }

By Default VS will use the Assembly of the project where the DbContext is stored. The above change, just tells VS to use the assembly of your API project.

You will still need to set your API project as the default startup project, by right clicking it in the solution explorer and selecting Set as Startup Project
