# Getting started

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that the Storedat API is currently in Beta and at this time it is not recommended to be used in a production environment
{% endhint %}

### Get your API key

Certain queries are only accessible via an API key and client-id (see the [Basics section ](/reference/api-reference/basics.md)in the API Reference) but there are those that can be used without credentials (See [Public API Access](/reference/api-reference/basics.md#public-api-access)). Any request through a API Key gated endpoint that doesn't include the necessary credentials will return an error.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.storedat.io/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
