1.Shortly, in .NET, Web API should be used to implement backed for the WEB application. Web API is part of the ‘One ASP.net’ family which means that it natively supports all of the great shared features you may currently use with MVC or web forms.

2.WCF instead is designed for implementing communication between applications or applications modules, and it is a framework for building service-oriented applications.
