When I hear "Web API" I would not think of the API in a framework or the browser. I would probably think of some remote API instead that I can call over the web. Http/https.

So to recap, and this is my opinion ofc.
A web API is remote and would usually require a http/https call to use.
An API is some framework or interface that does not require any remote calls to access
