visual studio 2015 web api - no web api template

I installed vs 2015 community, for the sake of practice with web api. I opened the shortcut called 'Blend for visual studio 2015', and open a new project. I don't see anything related to web. I click on file->new -> website and see no options. Everything is empty , no web templates. I downloaded 'microsoft asp.net and web tools' - https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c94a02e9-f2e9-4bad-a952-a63a967e3935 I opened again the VS and see no change. Any idea ? Thanks !

Instead of opening 'Blend for visual studio 2015', look for 'Visual Studio 2015' in start menu.

Blend for Visual Studio (formerly Microsoft Expression Blend) is a user interface design tool developed for creating graphical interfaces for web and desktop applications that blend the features of these two types of applications - WPF and Silverlight.

Once you open VS2015, Click on New Project > Select Web from templates > then select ASP.NET web application like shown below-

New Project

Once you click OK and move to next screen, you will get option to select WebApi like this-

WebApi

If you are looking for ASP.NET-core web api, then you should install .NET core SDK and preview toolkit from this link

See if this helps.
