# Introduction

> Overview of the Brale API for issuing, moving, and managing stablecoins across fiat and blockchain rails.

Brale makes it easy to issue, move, and manage stablecoins. Using our services you can create your own stablecoin and leverage our APIs to power on/off ramps, automate payouts, or move stablecoins across ecosystems. Brale's APIs support Brale, Paxos, and Circle-issued stablecoins. Stablecoins created with Brale are usable for various use cases and can be swapped at any time with other popular stablecoins.

Brale offers two complementary APIs:

* `api.brale.xyz` - for secure, programmable stablecoin orchestration
* `data.brale.xyz` - for public token metadata and price feeds

Whether you're a fintech, exchange, or payment platform, Brale provides the infrastructure to build stablecoin-enabled products.

## Stablecoin Movement & Account Management (api.brale.xyz)

* Secure, authenticated API for orchestrating stablecoin workflows
* Requires OAuth2 bearer token (client credentials)
* Used for: issuing stablecoins, transfers, custody, linking banks, and more

## Stablecoin Market Data (data.brale.xyz)

* Public, read-only API for metadata and price feeds
* No authentication required
* Used for: accessing token metadata (e.g. SBC), prices, and definitions
