You won't see a service or api folder Those URLs points to a web script not files on a filesystem.

Edit - and those files are for remote web script access. The Java script API is something different.

You should under the difference between webscript api and javascript api first:
1.API like

GET /alfresco/service/api/node/content{property}/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}?a={attach?}‍

is a webscript api ,it is a restful and remote API .
2.javascript api is a local api and should be executed in the same JVM as alfresco.
Both webscript api and javascript api are out-of-box ,you don't need to install anything.
For javascript api ,please refer to
http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/concepts/API-JS-intro.html
