The difference between RestAPI and Restful webservices

I am new to web services. Can someone help me understand the difference between the REST API and the Restful web service in java. I developed a web application based only on servlets and jsp. Now the application should be developed using the REST API. What is the difference between developing a web application using only servlets and jsp and developing a webapp with a REST API. Can anyone provide links to good tutorials where I can learn more about the REST API with samples.

A RESTful web API (also called a RESTful web service) is a web API implemented using HTTP and REST principles. It is a collection of resources

Sometimes an organization may seem like a small difference between the REST API and Restful web services. For example, the Rest API can be shared by everyone to use data with the same endpoint.

Soothing web services may come with custom modifications for a specific requirement, and the endpoint will be different.
