# tronbase agent guides

> How to do things in tronbase, written for AI agents: plain Markdown, one task per file, no screenshots.

Each file is the text of a user guide, kept in step with the product. A guide describes the dashboard; for anything done from code, the API reference is the source of truth.

## Guides

- [How to create an API key](https://tronbase.io/agent-guides/create-api-key.md): Make a key in the dashboard, copy it once, send your first request, and revoke it when it is no longer needed. The key spends your balance, so it is treated like a password.
- [How to buy 131,000 energy for an address with no USDT on it](https://tronbase.io/agent-guides/buy-131k-energy.md): Why a USDT transfer to an address with no USDT on it costs twice the energy, how to tell when you are in that case, and how to order 131,000 from the dashboard.
- [How to buy bandwidth on TRON](https://tronbase.io/agent-guides/buy-bandwidth.md): Bandwidth is what pays for the size of a transaction. What the free daily allowance covers, why the smallest order is 1,000, and how to buy it from the dashboard.
- [How to buy 65,000 energy for one USDT transfer](https://tronbase.io/agent-guides/buy-65k-energy.md): The amount one USDT transfer needs, bought from your balance in the dashboard: pick the address, set 65,000, pay about 1.7–2.2 TRX instead of burning about 6.85.
- [How to buy energy without an account](https://tronbase.io/agent-guides/buy-with-invoice.md): Check an address on the home page, get an invoice for it, and pay it in TRX from any wallet — the energy is delegated automatically. No sign-up, no keys.
- [How to top up your tronbase wallet](https://tronbase.io/agent-guides/top-up-wallet.md): Fund your tronbase balance with USDT (TRC-20) or TRX: get your permanent deposit address, send the transfer, and watch the balance appear once the network confirms it.
- [What Tron Pulse is and how to connect it](https://tronbase.io/agent-guides/connect-tron-pulse.md): Tron Pulse watches a TRON address and delivers energy right before each USDT transfer it sends, billed per delivery from your balance. How to connect an address, what it costs, and how to pause or stop it.
