The Algorand REST API is available for this node. The most current documentation is available from Algorand here: https://developer.algorand.org/docs/algod-rest-paths
You may also access a sample Go SDK for Algorand at: https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand-sdk
You may import this SDK and use it to build applications that explore the Algorand blockchain.
For additional articles, see our Algorand knowledge base.
Step 4: Use the REST API
From a command line, you may use the REST API calls in the Algorand documentation and connect using the following pattern:
curl https://algorand-testnet.bdnodes.net/v1/status?auth=[your auth token] -H "X-Algo-API-Token: 6a502bc719407612b85e41b4f12c0522941d17d5d9e1c556b1959c065430c1ac"
