# Start familiarizing yourself

## Start familiarising yourself with the Extra Horizon Platform

### Example: Creating a new user via the Control Center

* Navigate to <https://app.extrahorizon.com>
* Login with the admin credentials that you received
* Under the "Services" section, select "Users"
* In the right top click on "New" where you can now add a new user

### Example: Get to know the Extra Horizon API - **Fetching a user via the SDK**

This example shows how to:

* Create an oAuth1 client in the SDK
* Authenticate that client in the SDK
* Do a `exh.users.me` call in the SDK

```javascript
const { createOAuth1Client } = require('@extrahorizon/javascript-sdk');

retrieveMyUser();

async function retrieveMyUser() {
    // Create an OAuth1 client to connect to Extra Horizon
    const exh = createOAuth1Client({
        host: '<your_exh_host>', 
        consumerKey: '<your_consumer_key>',
        consumerSecret: '<your_consumer_secret>',
    });

    // Authenticate the client with your user credentials, this will generate new OAuth1 tokens
    await exh.auth.authenticate({
        email: '<your_user_email>', 
        password: '<your_user_password>',
    });

    // Use the client to fetch your user information
    const me = await exh.users.me();
    console.log('User: ', me)
}
```
