# v0 — Buy with Private Key

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Legacy example.** This page uses the **v0** TronSave API and **TronWeb 5.3.2**. It is kept for reference and backwards compatibility. For new integrations, use the current Signed Transaction flow in [Buy Resources](/developers/api-reference/buy-resources.md) and the [Developer Quickstart](/developers/quickstart.md).
{% endhint %}

This example shows the complete Signed Transaction flow: estimate the cost, sign a TRX transfer to the TronSave receiver address with your private key, and create the buy order — all without depositing TRX into an internal account.

## Requirement

**TronWeb version 5.3.2**

```bash
npm i tronweb@5.3.2 @noble/secp256k1@1.7.1
```

## Configuration

The example reads four endpoint/address constants. The values differ between mainnet and the Nile testnet:

| Constant                    | Mainnet                              | Testnet (Nile)                       |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| `TRONSAVE_RECEIVER_ADDRESS` | `TWZEhq5JuUVvGtutNgnRBATbF8BnHGyn4S` | `TATT1UzHRikft98bRFqApFTsaSw73ycfoS` |
| `TRON_FULLNODE`             | `https://api.trongrid.io`            | `https://api.nileex.io`              |
| `TRONSAVE_API_URL`          | `https://api.tronsave.io`            | `https://api-dev.tronsave.io`        |

Set `PRIVATE_KEY`, `REQUEST_ADDRESS`, and `TARGET_ADDRESS` before running. `BUY_AMOUNT` and `DURATION` can be changed to fit your order.

## How it works

1. **Estimate** — `POST /v0/estimate-trx` returns the `unit_price`, `available_energy`, and `estimate_trx` (the TRX cost, in SUN) for your requested `BUY_AMOUNT` and `DURATION`.
2. **Sign** — Build a TRX transfer of `estimate_trx` to `TRONSAVE_RECEIVER_ADDRESS` and sign it locally with your private key. No TRX is moved until the order is created.
3. **Create order** — `POST /v0/buy-energy` submits the signed transaction. On success the response is the order ID, e.g. `"651d2306e55c073f6ca0992e"`.

The example only proceeds to sign and create the order when `available_energy >= BUY_AMOUNT`, ensuring the order can be filled 100%.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Never commit your `PRIVATE_KEY` to source control or share it. Load it from a secure environment variable or secret manager in production.
{% endhint %}

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.tronsave.io/developers/code-examples/buy-with-private-key-1.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.
