Connecting your account to a program or service can be done using an API or login credentials. We generally recommend connecting your accounts via API because it offers several advantages over using login credentials. These are some of them:
Enhanced Security: APIs provide a more secure connection by using standardized protocols and authentication methods (2FA), reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Faster and More Reliable Connections: API connections are typically more efficient, as they are designed to handle data transfers seamlessly without the delays that can occur with manual login processes.
No Need for Credential Updates: APIs eliminate the need to repeatedly update login credentials, such as when passwords expire or are changed, ensuring uninterrupted access to your data.
Bypassing In-Program Messages: Unlike login-based connections, APIs can bypass messages (such as system notifications) that may require manual intervention before logging in.
