The search bar, located at the top-right corner of the documentation, makes finding relevant content quick and intuitive. Type any keyword—whether it’s a complete word or a partial match—and you’ll see immediate, filtered results. You can refine your search by using more specific terms or phrases to narrow down the options. This is particularly useful if you’re unsure which category your topic might appear in. Give it a try and discover guides and other resources tailored to your interests. {% endhint %} We hope you find the information you need to build your dream football application!

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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/welcome/welcome.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. 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.
