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!

If i were to guess why its not on list=projectpages, id say that
wikiproject democratic republic of the congo is not a full on wikiproject itself but just a subproject of wikiproject africa.
That would be the case. list=projectpages depends on something using the
{{#assessment:}} parser function to "tag" the page with the project. On 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.
