What's the difference between a web framework and a web api framework in node?

I've been checking out solutions for building apps with Node. While researching this, I've been getting hits with some calling themselves web frameworks and others web API frameworks. For example, Apigee-127, Swagger, Express, Sails, Restify and Hapi.So, about the differences between these frameworks. Is it that web API frameworks use RESTful endpoints to return JSON content for a frontend (like VueJS or AngularJS) to render on the client, and web frameworks don't have those tools built-in?Thanks.
