### 3. SAP Cloud SDK {#add-cloud-sdk}
### 3. Remote Service Consumption {#remote-services}

CAP supports two HTTP clients for remote service calls.

#### SAP Cloud SDK {#add-cloud-sdk}

If you intend to consume remote services in production, for example, via [BTP Destinations](https://help.sap.com/docs/connectivity/sap-btp-connectivity-cf/destination-service), add the requisite SAP Cloud SDK packages, like that for Node.js:

#### Native Fetch Client <Beta /> {#native-fetch}

As an alternative to SAP Cloud SDK, CAP can use Node.js's built-in `fetch` API for remote service calls. Native fetch is selected per request based on the following rules, in that order:

1. If the destination requires features only available in CloudSDK (e.g., BTP Destination Service resolution or non-basic authentication), CloudSDK is always used.
2. If <Config>cds.remote.native_fetch</Config> is explicitly set to `true` or `false`, that setting is used.
3. Otherwise, native fetch is used when `@sap-cloud-sdk/http-client` is not installed.

::: warning Current limitations
The native fetch client does not yet support named destinations via BTP Destination Service, only [application defined destinations](../services/consuming-services#use-application-defined-destinations). Authentication is limited to `NoAuthentication` and `BasicAuthentication`. CSRF token handling is not yet fully on par with SAP Cloud SDK.
