# REST API

The Bancor Network REST API enables lightweight access to Bancor Network information, abstracting the complexity of querying the Ethereum network directly. The API can be used to get information about tokens, price performance, pool performance, and more. All API responses are in JSON format. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The API is still in an experimental phase and is subject to change. 
{% endhint %}

For a full API reference guide, see [API Reference](/guides/rest-api/api-reference.md). 

The API is blockchain agnostic and as such, all ids are defined using the generic Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) terminology & amounts are normalized to floating-point numbers. See [DLT Identifier](/guides/rest-api/dlt-identifier.md) for more information.
