Description

Should this repo and all references to it be called SDK? (Instead of API)

SDK wikipedia:

A software development kit (SDK) is a collection of software development tools in one installable package. They facilitate the creation of applications by having a compiler, debugger and sometimes a software framework. They are normally specific to a hardware platform and operating system combination.[1][2][3] To create applications with advanced functionalities such as advertisements,[4] push notifications,[5] etc; most application software developers use specific software development kits.[6]

API wikipedia:

An application programming interface (API) is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software.[1] A document or standard that describes how to build or use such a connection or interface is called an API specification. A computer system that meets this standard is said to implement or expose an API. The term API may refer either to the specification or to the implementation.
