Hi drvenom101,

From your description. We cannot clearly know what you want to ask any questions. You need to describe the problem you want to solve.

WCF REST Service and Web API:

Also, if it is related to WCF or WPF, you can visit the WCF/WPF forum for getting better support.

The WPF forum:

Hi drvenom101,

I am confused with the difference between wcf web api and asp.net web api.

I suggest you can refer the following tutorials, you will have a basic understanding of them.

ASP.NET Web API:

ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. ASP.NET Web API is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework.

Windows Communication Foundation(WCF):

There have some differences between WCF and ASP.NET Web API:

As far as I know, WCF was originally created to enable SOAP-based services. For simpler RESTful services ASP.NET Web API should be a good choice.
