# delegate-bandwidth - TRON energy

Example code for the delegate-bandwidth JSON RPC method. Сomplete guide on how to use delegate-bandwidth JSON RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This is used to purchase and delegate TRON bandwidth to a target address. Unlike energy, bandwidth orders may be confirmed asynchronously: if the provider accepts the order but on-chain delivery is not yet confirmed, the API returns `202` Accepted and no charge is applied until delivery is confirmed.

### Body Parameter

| Parameter       | Type    | Required | Description                                        |
| --------------- | ------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| target\_address | string  | Yes      | TRON wallet address (starts with T, 34 characters) |
| volume          | integer | Yes      | Bandwidth amount: 1,000 — 200,000                  |
| duration        | string  | Yes      | "1h" (only 1 hour supported for Bandwidth)         |

### Idempotency

Send a unique Idempotency-Key header (UUID format recommended) to ensure safe retries:

| Scenario                       | Behavior                                        |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Same key + same body           | Original response replayed, no duplicate charge |
| Same key + different body      | 422                                             |
| Same key on different endpoint | 409                                             |
| In-flight duplicate request    | 409 with Retry-After header                     |

A retry of a 202 response replays the same 202 — it does not create a second order
