No, your statement that "an SDK is an API with docs" is completely incorrect.
There is a big difference between a SDK (software development kit) and
an API (application programming interface). The former allows you to
develop applications. The latter allows you to leverage third party
functionality via function calls into a 3rd party component from
within the application you're developing. The two are very, very
different.
