The Extended API includes a number of "high level" commands to perform tasks such as sending and receiving transfers.
Note
Below you will find the documentation for both the synchronous and asynchronous versions of the Extebded API methods.
It should be made clear, that they do exactly the same IOTA related operations, accept the same arguments and return the same structures. Asynchronous API calls are non-blocking, so your application can do other stuff while waiting for the result from the network.
While synchronous API calls are regular Python methods, their respective asynchronous versions are Python coroutines. You can await their results, schedule them for execution inside and event loop and much more. PyOTA uses the built-in asyncio Python module for asynchronous operation. For an overview of what you can do with it, head over to this article.
