> Based on **ton-http-api** (sources/ton-http) and **TON Index (Go) v3**. For **request parameters and return values** of any endpoint, use [Swagger UI](https://toncenter.com/api/v3/index.html#/) or [OpenAPI doc.json](https://toncenter.com/api/v3/doc.json).

TON nodes use ADNL binary transport; an HTTP API is an intermediary that accepts HTTP and talks to TON lite servers (via tonlib). Use the public [toncenter.com](https://toncenter.com) or run your own instance from the [ton-http-api](https://github.com/toncenter/ton-http-api) repo. TON Index v3 (at toncenter.com) adds indexed REST APIs (accounts, actions, jettons, NFTs, etc.) on top of stored chain data.

## Looking up endpoint parameters and return values

- **Swagger UI (recommended):** [https://toncenter.com/api/v3/index.html#/](https://toncenter.com/api/v3/index.html#/) — browse by group, inspect query/body and response schemas.
- **OpenAPI JSON:** [https://toncenter.com/api/v3/doc.json](https://toncenter.com/api/v3/doc.json) — full machine-readable spec for parameters and models.

When calling or wrapping TON Center APIs, consult the above to confirm query/body parameters and response shapes.
