An API allows you to use any programming language you want but you have to manage all the set up and boilerplate. And SDK is typically written for a specific language and abstracts away all of the boilerplate and setup. The SDK uses the API internally.

This makes sense in principle Thank you I was looking at Airstack APISDK and they looked so similar but I can imagine for more complicated things there are bigger differences Is it the case that if there is an SDK in your desired language, you should almost always use the SDK over the API?

I wanted to guess an answer but the last time I was a hands on developer, APIs were SOAP web services. 😳 Your answer is more or less what my understanding was, which makes my ego feel good today. Lol
