# Build with HDX

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:red;background-color:red;">Note: This material is for alpha testing of a new HDX API endpoint built on CKAN's DataStore. It is not yet official documentation.</mark>
{% endhint %}

This section is designed to help you explore how HDX can be used in your own tools and workflows. Here you will find examples, testing guides, and explanations of the core technical concepts behind HDX. Whether you are building applications, running analysis, or connecting HDX datasets to your data pipelines, this space will guide you through the essentials.

See our testing material links below. The material here is evolving and will expand over time as we refine it together with our users.
