# 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](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-api/reference/api-reference/getting-data).
