Buy Energy or Bandwidth by submitting a signed TRON transaction — estimate cost, get a signed transaction, then create the order.
The signed-transaction flow lets you buy resources by signing a TRON transaction with your own wallet key. Instead of holding a TronSave balance, you pay per order directly from your wallet. The flow has three API steps:
Estimate TRX — calculate the TRX required for the resource amount and rental duration.
Get a signed transaction — produce a signed transaction, either with your own code or via the TronSave API.
Create an order — submit the signed transaction to finalize the resource purchase.
Prefer not to sign transactions yourself? You can also buy with a prepaid balance using your API key. See Buy with API Key.
Have access to the private key of the wallet you intend to use for the transaction.
Make sure the wallet holds enough TRX to pay for the order.
Call the Estimate TRX endpoint to calculate the TRX needed for the desired resource amount and rental duration.
You have two options:
Option 1: Write your own function to generate the signed transaction using the wallet's private key.
Option 2: Use the TronSave Get Signed Transaction API to generate the signed transaction automatically.
Call the Create Order endpoint to finalize the purchase. Pass:
The signed transaction (from the API response, or your own custom-signed transaction).
The estimated TRX amount and other required parameters.
