What is the difference between API & web service?

they are indeed very similar concepts, the main difference is that not all APIs are accessible over the web. you can read more about it here: https://rapidapi.com/blog/api-vs-web-service/

Week 1

I Need Help With:

Is it possible to create a Home page, Navbar, Buttons, and other pages using strapi 4 ?
What is GraphQL.

What went well?

Everything about Strapi 4 - collation type went well. but I didn't try to display it.
Tried modifying data using API.

Continue studying Single type and components.

Is it possible to create a Home page, Navbar, Buttons, and other pages using strapi 4 ?

no, strapi is just a tool to easily create an API and a database connected to it, that can be used by a frontend app to fetch data. you have to write the frontend separately, in any way you like

What is GraphQL.

it is another kind of query language, but we (and most of the web) are using the REST standard for APIs.
