# Blocks

> The Blocks endpoints let you retrieve the list of users blocked by the authenticated user, as well. Reference for the X API v2 standard tier covering blocks.

export const Button = ({href, children}) => {
  return <div className="not-prose">
    <a href={href}>
      <button className="x-btn">
        <span>{children}</span>
        <svg width="3" height="24" viewBox="0 -9 3 24" class="h-6 rotate-0 overflow-visible"><path d="M0 0L3 3L0 6" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round"></path></svg>
      </button>
    </a>
  </div>;
};

The Blocks endpoints let you retrieve the list of users blocked by the authenticated user, as well as block and unblock users.
