# Quickstart

> Integrate Ensend into your applications using the official developer SDKs and API.

## Overview

Ensend ships primarily as a dependency-free REST API and supports requests from any valid HTTP Client. To enhance your developer experience, we have provided SDKs for major programming languages.

This guide shows how to install and configure these SDKs or your http client to begin using ensend in your application

  Alternatively, you can send emails using our [SMTP Server](/smtp-server).
