app.js

var api = require('./routes/api.js');
var createError = require('http-errors');
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var logger = require('morgan');

var indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
var usersRouter = require('./routes/users');

var app = express();

// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'pug');

app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/users', usersRouter);
app.use('/api', api);

// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  next(createError(404));
});

// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  // set locals, only providing error in development
  res.locals.message = err.message;
  res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};

  // render the error page
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.render('error');
});

module.exports = app;

api.js

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();


router.get('/superheros', function(req, res) {
  res.send('Just a test');
});

module.exports = router;

I'm following a tutorial and I already saw from scratch again and I didn't found the solution. I just want to access the routes that I've created to continue the lesson. Someone can help me? What should I do?

You've got a typo: it says /superheros (heros, not heroes) in api.js. Also, under /api, you're mounting a Router instance that has exactly one route defined: /superheros. There's no / route in the Router that you pass to:

app.use('/api', api);

And so, there is no handler for /api + /.
