SDK vs. REST API

Why Prefer SDK Over Direct API Integration?#

Consistency and Reliability:#

Using the SDK ensures that your application consistently follows best practices and handles all interactions with the API in a reliable manner. This minimizes the risk of errors that can occur with direct API calls, such as improper handling of edge cases or misconfigured requests.

Maintenance and Updates:#

Our SDK is regularly updated to accommodate new features, security patches, and optimizations. By using the SDK, you automatically benefit from these updates without needing to modify your existing codebase extensively. This ensures your application remains up-to-date with the latest advancements and security standards.
Developer Experience:
The SDK enhances the developer experience by providing a well-structured, intuitive, and easy-to-use interface for interacting with the Airalo API. This reduces development friction and empowers developers to build robust applications more efficiently.
