The MSDN website. IIRC you can download all the Windows development stuff for free (but it is big!), or you can order it on CD/DVD.

Needless to say, PureBasic does not come with an API reference, because to make any good use of it you should have a full set of docs and not just a reference manual (you can get some small API references free for around 3Mb, but they only describe the functions, not what they do or how they work).

For links, just go to the PB Resources Site and look on the right hand side under Windows API :)

That will get you started.

There are also some tutorials (top left of page/tutorial section) if you didn't notice them. They may be a bit advanced though if you are just starting.
