Welcome to our how-to guide about building API requests. We briefly touched upon sending requests and receiving responses on our [**getting started**](/v2/get-started/get-started.md) page. This guide assumes you are already familiar with most of our various features that have been discussed in the [**tutorials**](/v2/tutorials/the-basics.md) and that you have your own personal [**API token**](https://my.sportmonks.com/api-tokens/personal) ready.
