# Quick Start

## Instance and Token

To continue with our quick start, you will have to have a Blocworx instance made available to you and a user with an authorization token created. Please [contact us](https://www.blocworx.com/contact-us/) for assistance on getting this set up. 

{% hint style="info" %}
We assume in this documentation that you are a Blocworx user. We will be making reference to terms that are used in Blocworx only. If you are still unsure how to do no-code development in Blocworx why not check out our [manual instead](https://manual.blocworx.com).
{% endhint %}

## Simple Request to Get Data from a Bloc

In the below examples we will use example.mydomain.com as the domain your Blocworx instance is hosted on, and \[AUTHTOKEN] will represent the token that will be provided to you. The Bloc ID in this example will be 1234.<br>

In this request we will be simply getting data from a bloc without filters or any more criteria. For more advanced Get Data API endpoints check out our [Get Data API Reference](/blocworx-api/reference/api-reference/getting-data.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-api/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
