2. API Docs

You can check Crust Docs website to learn supported APIs for our chain.

At the same time, Crust also released a detailed API documentation to help developers better use tools for development. As shown below, there are several categories, and we welcome developers to find corresponding tools for development.

Crust provides a collection of tools, utilities and libraries for interacting with the Crust network from JavaScript. All code is made available on Github with a permissive Apache-2.0 license.

While there is a slant towards developer tools, providing libraries to allow others to build tools on top of, a collection of applications are made available that allows for interaction with the network from a pure user perspective. If you are a end-user looking to interact with the network, you can interact with Crust/Apps.
