# Chapter 12: Talking to Bitcoind
While working with Bitcoin Scripts, we hit the boundaries of what's possible with `bitcoin-cli`. Fortunately, there are other ways to work with the Bitcoin network. There are APIs that will ultimately allow you to access _all_ of Bitcoin's functionality, but we're going to start off with the simpler APIs that largely duplicate `bitcoin-cli` by accessing `bitcoind`. Consider it a new way to do what you already know and a gateway to the larger world of working with APIs.
## Objectives for This Chapter
After working through this chapter, a developer will be able to:
* Decide Between Different Methods of Talking to Bitcoind
* Create Bitcoin Transactions by Talking Directly to Bitcoind
Supporting objectives include the ability to:
* Understand How to Use APIs
* Create a Foundation for Accessing Bitcoind
