# Steem API
> Read the Steem blockchain and its social layer (Steemit) live — no key needed. The account endpoint returns a Steemit account's social profile and on-chain stats: display name, about, location, website, reputation score, post count, STEEM and SBD balances and the account-creation date. The trending endpoint returns the posts trending on Steemit right now (author, title, votes, pending payout, optional tag). The network endpoint returns chain-wide stats — head block and current/virtual STEEM supply. Data comes live from Steem's own public RPC node — nothing cached, nothing stored. Steem is a distinct blockchain-social network, separate from Hive since the 2020 fork. Built for social dashboards, creator analytics, on-chain explorers and trend monitoring.
