 The Aleo Testnet3 API is organized around [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer).
 
 To connect to the network, make a request to an Aleo Testnet III bootnode.

+For example, you can [retrieve the current block height](https://api.explorer.aleo.org/v1/testnet3/latest/height). 
+
+With a local instance of `snarkos`, you can launch a client node with:
+
+```
+snarkos start --client --nodisplay
+```
+
+By default, this will make the node API available at `0.0.0.0:3033`:
+
+```
+http://0.0.0.0:3033/testnet3/latest/height
+```
+
+Now, refer to the [API reference](#api) for a list of available endpoints.
