# Functional Description

The records REST API provides endpoints that enable you to:

* [**Write Record**](/nchain-event/independent-records/functional-description/write-record.md)**:** Write a record to the blockchain
* [**Read Record:**](/nchain-event/independent-records/functional-description/read-record.md) Obtain the record from its blockchain location
* [**Verify Record**](/nchain-event/independent-records/functional-description/verify-record-+.md)**:** Verify [**†**](/nchain-event/overview/configuration-symbols.md) whether your local record matches the one on the blockchain
