# Bitroots API Overview

To register for API access, please complete the form in the [Authentication](/bitroots-docs/authentication.md) page. 

Our API software is designed to be easily integrated with existing wallets, exchanges, webapps, and DeFi platforms. The API serves data from the Bitcoin Core (BTC) blockchain.

The API allows a user to identify which coins have been certified by Bitroots. These coins are either:

1. Freshly minted coinbase outputs that have been produced by certified miners.
2. UTXOs that have been traded on the ledger but have originated from a certified coinbase output.

At present, the API only supports certified UTXOs that have come from a chain of one-input one-output transactions since coinbase.
