Getting Started with Twilio SDK

What is an SDK?

A software development kit (SDK) is a set of software development tools that includes, but is not limited to, libraries, documentation, sample codes, compilers, and debuggers related to a specific platform.

SDKs allow developers to build applications more quickly and smoothly. It enables developers to integrate third-party software with their applications efficiently.

API vs. SDK

APIs and SDKs are software development tools allowing developers to communicate with third-party services. They’re both used to shorten the development cycle. However, they differ to some extent.

An API is an interface that allows developers to extract information or processes from third-party resources. APIs are used to create a communication link between existing applications.
