# API Workflow

The normal workflow for independent records follows this sequence of operations:

1. [Configure API](/nchain-event/independent-records/api-workflow/configure-api.md)
2. [Write Record](/nchain-event/independent-records/api-workflow/write-record.md)
3. [Get Location Status](/nchain-event/independent-records/api-workflow/get-location-status.md)
4. [Read Record ](/nchain-event/independent-records/api-workflow/read-record.md)**\***
5. [Verify Record](/nchain-event/independent-records/api-workflow/verify-record-+.md) [**†**](/nchain-event/overview/configuration-symbols.md) **\***

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: **\*** Although these operations can be performed any time after writing a record, they will only be reading from the blockchain after the record has been confirmed by Get Location Status.
{% endhint %}

These operations are described in more detail below.
