What is the difference between Restful API & Web API?

A restful API is an application program interface that uses HTTP requests to GET, POST, PUT and DELETE data.

REST technology is generally preferred to the more robust Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) technology because REST leverages less bandwidth, making it more suitable for internet usage.

The name says it all it's API over the web which can be accessed using HTTP protocol.  We can build Web API using different technologies.
