# Overview

## Postman Documentation 

If you live and die by your love of Postman for API development, we provide a collection with examples that you can start using now. You'll need to create a new environment with fields for **domain** and **api\_key.**

[![Run in Postman](https://run.pstmn.io/button.svg)](https://app.getpostman.com/run-collection/416758-2c026d8f-795d-48c7-8554-4bbc17f797ad?action=collection%2Ffork\&collection-url=entityId%3D416758-2c026d8f-795d-48c7-8554-4bbc17f797ad%26entityType%3Dcollection#?env%5BTrust%20Enterprises%5D=W3sia2V5IjoiZG9tYWluIiwidmFsdWUiOiJodHRwczovL2hlZGVyYS1zZXJ2ZXJsZXNzLWNvbnNlbnN1cy52ZXJjZWwuYXBwIiwiZW5hYmxlZCI6dHJ1ZX0seyJrZXkiOiJhcGlfc2VjcmV0X2tleSIsInZhbHVlIjoiMTIzNDU2NzhhYmMiLCJlbmFibGVkIjp0cnVlfV0=)

## **The Routes**

In all routes swap out the ***hedera-serverless-consensus.vercel.app*** for your URL.

## Build a token marketplace

A permissioned marketplace at your fingertips, link your users to tokens that you sell, without them having to touch or have any blockchain experience.  

### Create a token 

A token can be created to be linked to a frontend of a marketplace or online shopfront.

{% content-ref url="/pages/KmifRnjglB0QOJzacCoS" %}
[Create a token](/rest-api/tokens/create-a-token.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Create an account for a user

Every user is required to have an account in tokens to be sent.

{% content-ref url="/pages/bUgCPKJArTJL1K99ssWg" %}
[Accounts](/rest-api/accounts.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Bequest a token to a user

Transfer a token that has been purchased to a user, the bequest feature manages all token associations by default so all you need to do is use this endpoint when ready, like verifying a payment.

{% content-ref url="/pages/Eie2aZTrFF0REPxgKiPn" %}
[Bequesting a token](/rest-api/tokens/bequesting-a-token.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Confirm your deployment

### **Deployment Status**

Want to check the status of your client use **/api/status** remember to update **HIDE\_STATUS** in your environment to **FALSE** if you want to hide this behaviour.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MFswxZKyq0S1a3LVq1g" %}
[Status](/rest-api/status.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Account Balance

Fetch the current account balance connected to the deployment, useful for checking that the configuration of the deployed service is valid.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MFsxUnTR0b1n3WCrfth" %}
[Balance](/rest-api/balance.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Manage topics and timestamped messages

Topics and messages allow you to add "trusted" proof that an event has happened.

### Managing Topics

Create, update and get the info for a topic that you use to send your consensus messages to.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MFsyVrZ4z8sLzgqmgAf" %}
[Topics](/rest-api/topics.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### **Sending Consensus Messages**

Send a message to that you wish to get a trusted consensus timestamp for, you may provide an option for whether the message should be asynchronous or wait for finality to be reached.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MFsyHfhgKQ1KMV3j-\_s" %}
[Consensus Messages](/rest-api/consensus-messages.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
