Create an AlgodClient from
const token = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";

Algod client connects an application to the Algorand blockchain. The algod client requires a valid algod REST endpoint IP address and algod token from an Algorand node that is connected to the network you plan to interact with.
Algod is the main Algorand process for handling the blockchain. Messages between nodes are processed, the protocol steps are executed, and the blocks are written to disk. The algod process also exposes a REST API server that developers can use to communicate with the node and the network. Algod uses the data directory for storage and configuration information.
