### Node.js (Axios)

```js
import axios from 'axios';

let config = {
  method: 'get',
  maxBodyLength: Infinity,
  url: 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>/v1/accounts/0xc32f662cd9718f02d8a8e5628f8f642fa27cd9b5f457b406ed734901a4939e34/events/0?limit=1&start=1'
};

axios.request(config)
.then((response) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});
```

### Python (Request)

```python
import requests

url = "https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>/v1/accounts/0xc32f662cd9718f02d8a8e5628f8f642fa27cd9b5f457b406ed734901a4939e34/events/0?limit=1&start=1"

response = requests.get(url)

print(response.text)
```
