# Using the API

> Work with Nubis Storage through S3-compatible or REST-style API workflows when SDKs are not the best fit.

## Use the API when you need direct control

SDKs are the easiest entry point, but direct API access is still useful for custom tooling, integrations, debugging, and lightweight automation workflows.

## API workflow guidance

* Confirm the correct endpoint and credentials
* Test with a non-production bucket first
* Keep private-access flows narrow and short-lived
* Validate metadata and headers, not just the success code
