# Full Node API Overview

## Full Node API Overview

To use these APIs, you should know that:

* To send a transaction to the TRON network:
  * Create a transaction via system contract APIs
  * Sign the transaction by `GetTransactionSign`
  * Broadcast the transaction by `BroadcastTransaction`
* Or there're shortcut APIs:
  * EasyTransfer
  * EasyTransferByPrivate
  * EasyTransferAsset
  * EasyTransferAssetByPrivate

Any other APIs are used for querying on-chain data.

To distinguish HEX and Base58check addresses, a `visible` parameter is introduced.

To handle multi-sign, a `permission_id` parameter is introduced to select the underlying permission type.
