Web API is a framework capable of implementing/being RESTful.

Rest isn't a framework its more a methodology for going about implementing your API. There are restful APIs and non-restful API's. You could create a Web API application that isn't restful, its up to you to make it restful.

I suggest you look at this link, or a good search of "Restful Web API" should net you plenty of results.
