It is likely that you will only need a handful of endpoints for your use case. If you are unsure where to start, we strongly recommend that the best way to explore the API is to navigate on the platform itself, with DevTools or Inspect mode open, and to look at the requests being made. You can copy these as cURL requests into an LLM or tool such as Postman. The requests made from the Synap platform all use this API - so you can copy those requests to get an idea of what requests are being used and how they are structured, and simply replace the session token with your PAT. --- # 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://synap.ac/docs/api/practical-tips.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
