delegate-energy - TRON energy

Example code for the delegate-energy JSON RPC method

This endpoint delegates energy to a TRON address. In most cases, the order completes immediately with status "success".

Parameter

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
target_address	string	Yes	TRON wallet address (starts with T, 34 characters)
volume	integer	Yes	Energy amount: 30,000 — 5,000,000
duration	string	Yes	"1h", "1d", "3d", "7d"

Idempotency

delegateEnergy charges your balance and may place an on-chain order. To make retries safe, send a unique key with each intent:

Idempotency-Key: 6f9c2a1e-3b7d-4c08-9f21-2e5a7c0b1d44

A UUID is recommended. Generate a new key for each purchase, and reuse the same key when retrying the exact same purchase.

Situation	Result
Same key + same body	The original response is replayed. No second charge, no second order.
Same key + different body	422
Same key on a different endpoint	409
Duplicate sent while the first is still in flight	409 with a Retry-After header
Idempotency store temporarily unavailable	503 with a Retry-After header (retry shortly)

Always send an idempotency key on write endpoints. It is the difference between a safe retry and an accidental double on-chain charge.
