-Interacting with the [REST HTTP API](/docs/api/rest-api) directly is fully supported. However, Ably recommends using the REST interface of an SDK where possible, as they provide additional features that improve performance and resilience that the REST HTTP API can't deliver on its own. This includes automatic re-routing around network problems by using alternative data centers.
