**Description** Hi, I am new to the platform and the tart question might sound silly but I need help. I am working on an education web/app which needs Zoom integration. I have tried using JWT using postman and able to list users etc… (about to start using advanced features). How do I make a choice on whether to use the API or the SDK. What is the differentiation? , I have not gone into depth of both, however, if the community can help with experience, that will be a great direction. If you are suggestion, kindly help with some related documentation so that I can read more, Regards Prashanth ---

Hey @healthdataanalytics, The [Zoom API is for provisioning / getting data](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/introduction) whereas the [Zoom SDKs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/introduction) are for embedding Zoom meetings / webinars inside your application. Does that clear things up? Thanks, Tommy ---
