Is there an API that will allow me to iterate through the page groups in a
spool file and determine the starting and ending page?

Sure, Get Spool File Data (QSPGETSP)
https://www.ibm.com/docs/api/v1/content/ssw_ibm_i_74/apis/QSPGETSP.htm

The AFPDS data stream includes Begin Named Paged Group (BNG) and End Named
Page Group (ENG)
(according to the Data Stream and Object Architectures: MO:DCA™ Reference
manual, SC31-6802)

But I wouldn't want to build my own tool for this...

I'd look at buying a commercial tool.
