Bee

Working With Bee

Once Bee is installed, find out how to configure the software, interact with the API, monitor what Bee is up to, and make those all important backups in the working with Bee section.

Access the Swarm

To learn more about how to get the most out of Bee, find out how to access the swarm section so you can share files with your friends, use Bee to host a website on a public Swarm Gateway, and much more!

API Reference

Find detailed information on all the endpoints available in the autogenerated API reference and Debug API reference guides.

Dapps

Swarm is all about dapps. It strives to provide the most developer friendly environment on which to build decentralised organisations. Built on the principles of functionality, flexibility and accessibility, Bee provides high level constructs for file storage, feeds and key-value stores, while also providing the low level access with libraries that create Single Owner and Trojan chunks clientside, with total e2e privacy. Learn more about how to develop on Swarm.

Development
