# Welcome

## Introduction

Vectra provides API documentation on both a live site and via .pdf as of today.

The [Vectra REST API Documentation Website](https://apidocs.vectra.ai/) houses the live API documentation site today with the ability to download the API specs in .yaml form and also try live queries against your Vectra tenant.

Vectra plans to migrate that content to this documentation site in a future update to further consolidate documentation here on [docs.vectra.ai](https://docs.vectra.ai/).

Links to the existing PDF documentation are in the table of contents on the left side of your page. Clicking on these links will take you to where these documents live now in the main documentation branch.&#x20;

# 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.vectra.ai/api-reference/welcome.md?ask=<question>
```

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.
