No, you don't need to (although you can) use restful api in Activiti.
Javascript api or java api is just ok.

1.Write a java servcie class that implement org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate


public class YourJavaDelegate implements JavaDelegate {
  public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
   // todo 
  }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2.In your method ,get alfresco ServcieRegistry bean


public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
   // todo 
   ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl config = Context.getProcessEngineConfiguration();
   ServiceRegistry registry = (ServiceRegistry) config.getBeans().get(ActivitiConstants.SERVICE_REGISTRY_BEAN_KEY);
   // get node servcie/tagging service from registy
   // do what you want to do.
 }

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

3. config your java servcie class in bmpn xml file


<serviceTask id="javaService" 
             name="Your Java Service Task" 
             activiti:class="com.your.company.YourJavaDelegate" />
