# Developer API

Here you can find all the information on how to use our API to add custom economies.

Creating a custom economy provider is a fairly straight forward process. First of all, ensure you have the API dependency loaded into your project and set it as a depend in your plugin.yml file.

***

To being with we need to create a class and have it extend `EconomyProvider` some IDEs will then prompt you to add the missing values. In this example we will call our class `CustomEconomy`

```java
public class CustomEconomy extends EconomyProvider {
}

```

***

After that is finished if your IDE does not prompt you to add in the missing values you must do so manually here you can find how they should look.

```java
public class CustomEconomy extends EconomyProvider {

    public CustomEconomy(String identifier) {
        super("CUSTOM_ECONOMY");
    }

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

    }

    @Override
    public double getBalance(OfflinePlayer player) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void withdraw(OfflinePlayer player, double amount) {

    }

    @Override
    public void deposit(OfflinePlayer player, double amount) {

    }
}
```

Now all you must do is update each method with the relevant code to work with your plugin. It is recommended to define the API in the `onEnable` method. Below we will provide an example using the TokenManager plugin

```java
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        tokenManager = (TokenManager) Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("TokenManager");
    }

```

***

Now all we must do is register the objective an example of this can be seen below.

```java
// Accessing the API
DeluxeCoinflipAPI api = (DeluxeCoinflipAPI) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("DeluxeCoinflip");

// Register the custom economy. 
// Be sure to replace YOUR_PLUGIN with the name of your plugin for it to be registered correctly.
api.registerEconomyProvider(new CustomProvider, "YOUR_PLUGIN");
```

Make sure DeluxeCoinflip has been added as a depend in your `plugin.yml` to ensure it loads correctly.
