A web API that calls downstream web APIs has the same registration as a protected web API. Follow the instructions in Protected web API: App registration.
Because the web app now calls web APIs, it becomes a confidential client application. That's why extra registration information is required: the app needs to share secrets (client credentials) with the Microsoft identity platform.
[!INCLUDE Pre-requisites]
Web apps call APIs on behalf of users for whom the bearer token was received. The web apps need to request delegated permissions. For more information, see Add permissions to access your web API.
