What is the difference between OWASP Top 10 and OWASP Top 10 API

There is the OWASP Top 10 which is the most known one: https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/

And there is the OWASP Top 10 API: https://owasp.org/www-project-api-security/

Both lists are very similar, so I am confused why there are 2 lists noting that APIs are very similar to web applications. And another point is that the API list is updated (2023) while the regular list last updated was in 2021.

So what is the difference between the 2 lists that are generated by OWASP? and which list should I follow I am testing a web application exposing APIs?
