# Integrate with Mina

> Choose how to integrate an application, exchange, wallet, explorer, or indexer with Mina — the daemon GraphQL API, the Archive Node API, Rosetta, client SDKs, and signing libraries.

<Subhead>
The interfaces an application, exchange, wallet, explorer, or indexer uses to read Mina data and send transactions.
</Subhead>

Mina gives you three APIs and a set of client libraries. Each API reads from a different source, so choose by the data you need, not by the language you write in.

## Choose an interface

| You need | Use | Reads from |
|---|---|---|
| Current account state, the recent chain, sending transactions | [Daemon GraphQL API](/node-operators/validator-node/querying-data) | A Mina node. It keeps only the last k blocks (290) |
| Blocks and transactions over the full history, zkApp events and actions | [Archive Node API](/node-operators/data-and-history/archive-node-api) | An [archive node](/node-operators/archive-node)'s Postgres database |
| Deposits, withdrawals and balances for an exchange or custodian | [Rosetta API](/node-operators/data-and-history/rosetta) | A Mina node and an archive database |
| Keys and transaction signatures, offline or in a browser | [Mina Signer](/mina-signer) | Nothing: it signs locally and needs no node |
| zkApp state, events and actions from a smart contract | [o1js](/zkapps/writing-a-zkapp/feature-overview/fetch-events-and-actions) | A Mina node and an Archive Node API endpoint |

## Client libraries

| Library | Talks to | Languages |
|---|---|---|
| Archive SDK | Archive Node API | [TypeScript](https://github.com/o1-labs/mina-archive-sdk-js) (`@o1-labs/mina-archive-sdk`), [Rust](https://github.com/o1-labs/mina-archive-sdk-rust) (`mina-archive-sdk`), [Go](https://github.com/o1-labs/mina-archive-sdk-go) (`github.com/o1-labs/mina-archive-sdk-go/v2`) |
| Mina SDK | Daemon GraphQL API | [Rust](https://github.com/MinaProtocol/mina-sdk-rust) (`mina-sdk`), [Go](https://github.com/MinaProtocol/mina-sdk-go), [Python](https://github.com/MinaProtocol/mina-sdk-python) (`mina-sdk`) |
| [Mina Signer](/mina-signer) | No API: signs locally | JavaScript and TypeScript (`mina-signer`) |
| [o1js](/zkapps/o1js) | Daemon GraphQL API and Archive Node API | TypeScript (`o1js`) |

The Archive SDKs share one major version with the Archive Node API: a 2.x SDK works with any 2.x server. The Mina SDKs are at version 0.x, so a minor release can change their API.

## Integration guides

- [Exchange Operators](/node-operators/exchange-operators): run the nodes, the archive and Rosetta that an exchange needs, and handle deposits and withdrawals.
- [Archive Node API](/node-operators/data-and-history/archive-node-api): run the API over an archive database, query it, and operate it in production.
- [Archive Node](/node-operators/archive-node): run an archive node that stores the full chain history in Postgres.
- [Rosetta API](/node-operators/data-and-history/rosetta): run Mina's Rosetta implementation.
- [Daemon GraphQL API](/node-operators/validator-node/querying-data): query a node and send transactions to it.
- [Fetch events and actions](/zkapps/writing-a-zkapp/feature-overview/fetch-events-and-actions): read a zkApp's events and actions with o1js.
