APIs vs SDKs in Questions and Answers
Summary
In order to clear the confusion between these two concepts, we decided to do a little research on how APIs and SDKs work and how they can be used in application development. Both APIs and SDKs are intended to include a software component built by a third party in your own product, but in each case a different approach is used. Using SDKs is the solution of choice for building client applications, as they include the full functionality as well as the tools to implement it. They provide an interface to it allowing to reach the remote server and perform operations designed by the third party, but you need to set up the integration on your own. Calling a method using the strictly defined set of mandatory or optional parameters may change the value or return some data to the UI of your app.
