# Overview

Earn API is designed for businesses that want to offer crypto-earning opportunities to their customers without the complexity of managing the backend infrastructure. It provides a straightforward integration process that allows companies to incorporate yield-generating features into their existing platforms. The API handles all the technical details — wallet management, security, and compliance — enabling businesses to focus on their customer experience while offering competitive returns on crypto assets.

This solution is ideal for crypto exchanges, fintech companies, and any service provider looking to expand into the cryptocurrency earning space.

### Integration

From a partner perspective, a successful Earn API integration has two elements that need to be completed:

1. **Deposit and withdrawal integration.** Earn API provides endpoints to let the partner present Tesseract's products to end users and book deposits and withdrawals into Tesseract's accounting system.
2. **Daily settlement integration.** Crypto transactions to settle the outstanding balance between partner and Tesseract happen on a daily basis. Earn API report endpoints provide clear figures for amounts to settle as well as complete visibility into Tesseract's accounting system for partners to verify correctness.

These two elements are broken down in [Solution Architecture](/earn-direct-and-earn-api/earn-api/solution-architecture.md).

## 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.tesseract.fi/earn-direct-and-earn-api/earn-api/overview.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.
