#### Video transcript

In this video we'll use the content delivery API documentation to explore the all entries and get all entries command. In the documentation navigate to APIs and the content delivery API and then on the right side scroll down to all entries. Here you'll see a link for the all get all entries method. Let's click on that and we're going to go ahead and see the ability to query the API here within the documentation. Choose your region. If you are in Europe or Azure North America select that. The default for the training course is North America and then down here under the content type ID let's add blog underscore post and you can find that back here in content stack on any of the entries where if you go to blog entry over here and you open up an entry and then on the right side you can see the type of content here blog post. Okay the next parameter we're going to do is the environment parameter and that's where the content is published to. So over here you can also look under the status and you can see that this content is published both to development preview and production. So I'm going to go ahead and say development. The next parameter is which locale and our default for the site the blog site is ENUS. Finally fallback is true this means if you request localized content it will return if it's not available it will return the master of the parent content and finally we can set faults for branch leave that empty. Next part is the headers and we can specify the API key and access token and that's located over here under settings and then under tokens. Here you can see we have a token for the development environment which is going to allow me to query content publish to development. I can copy the stack API key and finally I can also copy the delivery token and that's it. Let's hit the try button now we're querying content stack and we'll get a list of the entries for the blog post.
