The Crowdin API client provides methods that essentially call Crowdin's APIs. This makes it much easier for other developers to make calls to Crowdin's APIs, as the client abstracts a lot of the work required. In short, the API client provides a lightweight interface for making API requests to Crowdin.

Philosophy of code contribution

Include unit tests when you contribute new features, as they help to a) prove that your code works correctly, and b) guard against future breaking changes to lower the maintenance cost.
Bug fixes also generally require unit tests, because the presence of bugs usually indicates insufficient test coverage.
