Is it necessary to complete this online or can it be done at check in? Maybe a stupid question but which option do I press if we're just visiting relatives and returning home ? Thanks

Hi
API needs to have been completed at least 72 hours before departure.
I would presume that if your relatives live in the US you would enter "Staying in the US" and then add their address in the relavant box

I presume you have also applied for and had your ESTA application approved for travel to the U.S. as well?
