# Getting started The Clym API follows the REST API design and is organized into resource-oriented URLs that can be found in the API Reference part of the documentation, returns JSON-encoded responses and uses standard HTTP response code and verbs. All requests to the Clym API require authentication via an API key that is available in our administrative portals. You can find more information in the Authentication section --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.clym.io/getting-started.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
