Yes, they use roughly the same data source.
Quarry and api handle confidential data in a different way. There may be
slight differences around that, but thats not relavent to wikiprojects.

I see. That makes sense. Yes, I was using
list=projectpages.
Another question: is Quarry querying against the same data source as API?
I am able
to use Quarry to get articles of some task forces (here is the
query I used), but again, no luck on wikiproject democratic republic of the
congo either.. Any explanation? Thanks!

enwiki this is typically done by Template:WPBannerMeta (specifically,
Template:WPBannerMeta/core), but that template (currently) just does it for
the main project, not for task forces.
