* Head to any GraphQL client of your choice, for example [<mark style="color:red;">Hasura</mark>](https://cloud.hasura.io/public/graphiql)<mark style="color:red;">.</mark>
* Enter the GraphQL endpoint for your preferred network
  * Mainnet: <mark style="color:yellow;"><https://programs.shyft.to/v0/graphql/?api\\_key={api-key}\\&network=mainnet-beta></mark>
