    Is there any difference between api calling and making web request?

    Are they identical or api calling is sub part of web request?

    API Calling is directly talking with the API in the backend, where there is no client side request, and its a pure server side call!
    Web Request is a client-side HTTP Request! 😀

    I will say API calling is a web request only. I mean when you are using an API, practically you are sending a web request, no matter if its only between the servers.
