# Quickstart

There are two fast paths to your first Energy purchase. Pick one.

## Path A — Buy on the website (no code)

1. Go to [tronsave.io/market](https://tronsave.io/market) and click **Connect** to connect your TRON wallet (e.g., TronLink).
2. Choose **Buy**, then set:
   * **Resource**: Energy (default) or Bandwidth
   * **Amount**: e.g. `32000` Energy (≈ one USDT TRC‑20 transfer)
   * **Duration**: e.g., 1 hour or 3 days
   * **Price tier**: `MEDIUM` is a good default — see [Order Types](/concepts/order-types.md)
3. Confirm and sign. Energy is delegated to your address within seconds once the order matches.

That's it. To learn the different ways to buy (Normal, Pending, Smart, ZapBuy, Auto Buy), see [Buy Energy & Bandwidth](/guides/buy.md).
{% endhint %}

## Path B — Buy via the API (for developers)

In about 10 minutes, you'll get an API key, deposit TRX, estimate cost, and place an order. Full walkthrough:

➡️ [**Developer Quickstart**](/developers/quickstart.md)

Minimal version:

```bash
# 1. Estimate cost
curl -X POST https://api.tronsave.io/v2/estimate-buy-resource \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"receiver":"YOUR_TRON_ADDRESS","resourceType":"ENERGY","resourceAmount":65000,"durationSec":900,"unitPrice":"MEDIUM"}'

# 2. Create the order
curl -X POST https://api.tronsave.io/v2/buy-resource \
  -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"receiver":"YOUR_TRON_ADDRESS","resourceType":"ENERGY","resourceAmount":65000,"durationSec":900,"unitPrice":"MEDIUM","options":{"allowPartialFill":true,"preventDuplicateIncompleteOrders":true}}'
```

## Testing first?

Use the **Nile testnet** — same flow, no real TRX:

<table><thead><tr><th width="155"></th><th>Production</th><th>Testnet (Nile)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Website</td><td><code>https://tronsave.io</code></td><td><code>https://testnet.tronsave.io</code></td></tr><tr><td>API</td><td><code>https://api.tronsave.io</code></td><td><code>https://api-dev.tronsave.io</code></td></tr></tbody></table>
