[@pantazaflorin2305]

Thanks! Great explanation

[@fadidev3383]

Short Terms: SDK = Code to Code to consume functionalities. API = No Code access required. Consume directly by network calls.

Thank you so much, it just mind blowing explanation 😍

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad I could help!

[@kristoferpersson6751]

Seems like sdk is something like an API to the API, or at least has those qualities. Would that be a fair notion?

[@MagnusAnand]

Nice explanation

amazing info

[@farzadb]

I liked the part comparing REST with GraphQL. Good job!

[@andriys5772]

Thank you! I think we can compare SQL for relational databases and ORM for them (Sequelize for JS or Django ORM for Python) with API and SDK accordingly, right?

[@Rbalaj1]

that's a good parallelism

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Andriy, I think this is a good analogy!

[@vimalneha]

excellent! Certainly you are a better dev :-)

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad it helped!

[@helpeachotherall]

Very good

[@rainron2664]

Does it mean the Api can be a component of a sdk? 😊

[@BeABetterDev]

An SDK usually contains methods to interact with APIs. :)

[@takshpatel8109]

thank you for the whole informative video. just 1 clarification , API are like some tech dependent like HTTP or win os, so if some has to use that they also need to learn few things about that tech on which it is developed. and SDKs are written programming language like js/java/python so it is better for developers to just directly use those functions which will do whatever is necessary. but till now everybody wrote apis, and now for better developer exp they need something different , so most of the sdks are like wrappers of existing apis. am i correct?

[@Reese-mc5zb]

Nice

[@rangabharath4253]

awesome

[@emirhan1356]

i really know i will understand these really well in someday but today it's so confusing

[@MagnusAnand]

Don’t worry. 97% you’ll use rest API. Slowly but surely learn that

[@NinjaAnkit]
