# APIs
The Lighthouse `beacon_node` provides two APIs for local consumption:
- A [RESTful JSON HTTP API](http.html) which provides beacon chain, node and network
information.
- A read-only [WebSocket API](websockets.html) providing beacon chain events, as they occur.
## Security
These endpoints are not designed to be exposed to the public Internet or
untrusted users. They may pose a considerable DoS attack vector when used improperly.
