📋 Steps to get started with Tangocrypto
This guide assumes you already have a Tangocrypto account and access to our Dashboard.
1. Create an APP
To use Tangocrypto's products, you need an API key to authenticate your requests.
You can create API keys from the dashboard, just click on +Create App, name it and hit create:
Once your app is created just copy you app-id and x-api-key and start making requests.
2. Make a Request and start building 
With the app-id and the x-api-key you can make requests. For example,  let's make a request to get the latest block number:
curl --location \
--request GET 'https://cardano-testnet.tangocrypto.com/<app-id>/v1/blocks/latest' \
--header 'x-api-key: <your-api-key>'
You should get something like this:
{
    "id": "3064146",
    "hash": "f8eadfc91c3219b3d00d4a902174e0978e449f0e8a6f6b0584e06bbbedc0d050",
