Hello @aregkruitbosch,

Welcome to the [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) forum!

You can use the [Content API](https://www.builder.io/c/docs/content-api) to query and retrieve data from your models in Builder. The API supports advanced query filtering, allowing you to fetch exactly the data you need.

Depending on the Builder SDK you are using ([React Gen 1 or Gen 2](https://www.builder.io/c/docs/sdk-comparison)), here are examples to help you get started:

### **For Gen 1**

Import `builder` and use the `get()` or `getAll()` helper:

```auto
import { builder } from '@builder.io/react';

const page = await builder.get('page', {
  fields: 'data.url, name',
});

const pages = await builder.getAll('page', {
  fields: 'data.url,name',
});

```

### **For Gen 2**

Import `fetchOneEntry()` and `fetchEntries()` to fetch single and multiple entries, respectively. Note that the `apiKey` is a required field:

```auto
import { fetchOneEntry, fetchEntries } from '@builder.io/sdk-react';

const page = await fetchOneEntry({
  model: 'page',
  fields: 'data.url,name',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});

const pages = await fetchEntries({
  model: 'page',
  fields: 'data.url,name',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',});

```
