API vs Web Service



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.
