SDK vs API calls
Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 11:14amHi all,
What would you recommend to use for a production application, Java SDK version: 11.33 or API calls.
Am I asking this because checking and testing the SDK seems like sometimes it fails and it has some examples?
-We need to send some documents to be signed for N clients.
thanks

We both have integrators use SDK and API. SDK allows you to get started quickly, use minimal codes to achieve the goal, and it's part of the product therefore we keep maintaining and enhancing the SDK to make sure it's align with the latest features. On the other side, there are some known limitations like SDK sometimes doesn't cover all the APIs, and because all APIs are invoked behind the scene, it's possible to have unnecessary outbound calls if developer is not very familiar with the internal workings. In a nutshell, if the technical solution you chose allows you to use SDK, you might prefer to use SDK to better facilitate your integration.
In terms of the examples, you can check the "Creating and Sending a Package" quick start guide to have a basic idea of how to build a package object and send it to OneSpan Sign system.
