What are main differences between API and Web Service?
- All Web services are APIs but not all APIs are Web services.
- Web services might not contain all the specifications and cannot perform all the tasks that APIs would perform.
- A Web service uses only three styles of use: SOAP, REST and XML-RPC for communication whereas API may be exposed to in multiple ways.
- A Web service always needs a network to operate while APIs don’t need a network for operation.
