depends on your usecase:
- this abstracts away a lot of the complexity, including pagination and format conversion. Also integrated logging and schema validation.
- this is self-healing, so when data comes through that you have never seen before or if the api changes it is a lot less likely to break.
- if you need to integrate a lot of APIs, or if you have multiple apps needing access to these apis, it is much easier to set up here than writing 1000s of lines of integration code.
If none of this is important / applies to you and the generated code works well, then you could also just do that.
