# SDKs and APIs

The SDKs and APIs section provides information about available tools and interfaces for interacting with the æternity blockchain. The JavaScript SDK is our primary and actively maintained development kit, offering comprehensive functionality for building applications on æternity. While there are other SDKs available (Python, Go, etc.), these are currently not actively maintained but may still offer useful reference implementations. In terms of APIs, the Node API serves as the core interface for blockchain interactions, with additional APIs to be documented as they are developed or discovered. This section aims to provide developers with the necessary resources to effectively build and integrate with the æternity ecosystem.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aeternity.com/aeternity-developer-tools/development-infrastructure/sdks-and-apis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
