Topic: How to add .conf and API to BFGminer? (Read 1071 times)

I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you're on Windows you can use CGWatcher to launch cgminer and it will enable the API automatically. In CGWatcher's Tests tab you can access the API directly, or there are features throughout the program that provide an interface to the API.
