does that mean APIs will be accessible if we are running BitGo Express locally? Right now I am not running it locally.

Yes, it's a proxy that forwards requests to the API, but performs cryptographic operations client-side.

<p>Trying to access API URL: <a href="https://test.bitgo.com/api/v2/tbtc/wallet/walletid38u5348t9yj958jtv985j89g5/sendcoins" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://test.bitgo.com/api/v2/tbtc/wallet/walletid38u5348t9yj958jtv985j89g5/sendcoins</a></p>

<p>But every time getting same response:</p>

<pre><code>{
    "error": "You have called a BitGo Express endpoint but this is the BitGo server. Please have a look at the BitGo Express documentation: https://www.bitgo.com/api/v2/#bitgo-express-rest-api",
    "name": "ApiError",
    "requestId": "irfo34r5541k06grtyy4j6n33",
    "context": {}
}
</code></pre>

<p>Is there any correction in API route? Or how can I successfully send coins using this api?</p>

I don't understand why this is flagged as "customer relation with a company". Nothing in this question requires information only BitGo could have.

`sendcoins` is an endpoint that is only available on BitGo Express. BitGo Express is a proxy that runs on your own infrastructure, typically on port 3080.

Instead of calling `test.bitgo.com`, if you're running BitGo Express locally, try calling `localhost:3080`.
