## Using the widget

The Travel Rule Widget is designed to be embedded into your application to collect required information from users during crypto transactions.

### Installation

The widget is available as an npm package for web applications. For detailed installation and setup instructions, see [Installation and Setup](./installation-and-setup).

### Integration

To integrate the widget into your application:

1. Create a widget session using the [Create Session](/rest-apis/widgets-api/travel-rule/create-session) endpoint
2. Initialize the widget with the session data
3. Handle lifecycle events (complete, cancel, error)
4. Submit the collected data

For a complete API reference, see [SDK Reference](./sdk-reference).

<Tip>The widget supports both web applications (via iframe) and native applications (via WebView). See [Native App Integration](./installation-and-setup#native-app-integration) for platform-specific guidance.</Tip>

## When to use the widget

The widget addresses Travel Rule compliance requirements during crypto transactions. For context on what Travel Rule is, when it applies, and the types of checks involved, see the [Travel Rule overview](/developer-guides/travel-rule/overview).

### Quote requirements

When creating a quote for a crypto withdrawal, the response may include a `travel-rule` requirement indicating that Travel Rule information must be collected before the transaction can be executed. See the [withdrawal flow guide](/developer-guides/travel-rule/withdrawal) for the full implementation.

### Transaction RFIs

When a crypto deposit transaction is placed on hold with a `travel-rule` request for information (RFI), the widget must be used to collect the required information to allow the transaction to proceed. See the [deposit flow guide](/developer-guides/travel-rule/deposit) for the full implementation.
