## Friendbot

Friendbot is a bot that funds accounts with fake XLM on Testnet or Futurenet. You can request XLM from Friendbot using the Stellar Laboratory or with various SDKs. Requests to friendbot are rate limited, so use it wisely. Friendbot provides 10,000 fake XLM when funding a new account.

If you are creating multiple accounts, you can fund your first account with Friendbot and then use that first account to fund your subsequent accounts using the Create Account operation.

If you maintain an application, you should think about creating a data set that is representative enough to test your primary use cases, and allow for robust testing even when Testnet or Futurenet are not available.

A script can automate this entire process by creating an account with friendbot and submitting a set of transactions that are predefined as a part of your testing infrastructure.

- High availability test infrastructure- SDF does not guarantee Testnet availability;
- Long-term storage of data on the network since the network resets periodically;
- A testing infrastructure that requires more control over the test environment, such as:

- The ability to control the data reset frequency;
- The need to secure private or sensitive data (before launching on the Mainnet). You can always run your own test network for use cases that don’t work well with SDF’s Testnet.

All operations fall into one of three threshold categories: low, medium, or high, and each threshold category has a weight between 0 and 255 (which can be determined using set_options). Thresholds determine what signature weight is required for the operation to be accepted. For example, let’s say an account sets the medium threshold weight to 5. If the account wants to successfully establish a trustline with the `changeTrust` operation, the weight of the signature(s) must be greater than or equal to 5.

To learn more about signature weight, see the [Signature and Multisignature Encyclopedia Entry](../../encyclopedia/signatures-multisig)

Anyone can run a Stellar Core node, but you don’t have to in order to build on Stellar. We recommend you do so if you issue an asset and want to ensure the accuracy of the ledger and/or if you want to contribute to Stellar’s overall health and decentralization.

## Horizon API

Horizon is the client-facing RESTful HTTP API server that allows programmatic access to submit transactions and query the network’s historical data. It acts as the interface for applications that want to access the Stellar network. You can communicate with Horizon using an SDK, a web browser, or with simple command tools like cURL.

You do not need to run your own Horizon instance — when you're getting started, you can use the free SDF Horizon instance to access the network — but it is recommended that you do when you’re ready to launch a finished product. Check out how to do so here: [Run an API Server Tutorial](../run-api-server)
