Cloud SDK and Search REST APIs
If you have created Sitecore Search integrations before, you might be familiar with the Search and Recommendation API and the Events API. The Cloud SDK search package makes requests to those REST APIs behind the scenes.
The Sitecore Cloud SDK and the Sitecore Search REST APIs all provide capabilities to build search experiences, but they differ in the individual features they provide.
The Cloud SDK simplifies the integration of search capabilities by providing a more declarative and developer-friendly interface to make search requests and implement tracking.
