Is the Business Central API just a way to access the web services or am I missing something?

Hi,

I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here since I'm a bit confused about the relationship between "Dynamics 365 Business Central API" and "Business Central Web Services".

Making the following call does not work since I can't authenticate:

api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../<your tenant domain>/api/v1.0

{"error":{"code":"Authentication_InvalidCredentials","message":"The server has rejected the client credentials. CorrelationId: 1ae99fbc-5347-43c1-8188-7d4961e0ccfc."}}

Calling a web service does work however:

api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/<your tenant domain>/Sandbox/ODataV4/

So is this just a matter of the first call using AAD authentication since "sandbox" is not included anywhere in the call? If that is the case, is there any difference between the two calls or are both just a way to access the Business Central Web Services?
