I find a plunger is effective. I've never had a clog that couldn't be plunged. Make sure you have the right kind of plunger, though. Some people mix up sink and toilet plungers, and the sink-style plunger doesn't work as well on a toilet: https://www.applewoodfixit.com/blog/3-types-of-plungers-which-is-best/
I would use a plunger first, but here's a link with several other ways too:

You can rent a snake from the Home Depot or big box home improvement store.
Several methods to do this.
First of course is the plunger, be sure you have a toilet plunger and not a sink one.
If still clogged use hot water with dishsoap, heat it on the stove and add some dishsoap, you dont want it boiling because you could melt the wax ring, making a bigger mess. Pour this into the toilet from an elevated point so the heated water and force of the water hits the area where the contents go down.
Still clogged? Get a snake from a diy store.
Last resort, cll the plumber, you may have a clog further down the line, they have cameras and can observe what is causing the problem and do something about it.
