## API Keys tab

The **API Keys** tab lets you create personal API keys to authenticate your own requests to the AOH Sync API. API keys created here are scoped to your user account and carry your effective permissions.

{% hint style="info" %}
For organization-level API keys used by automated processes, see the **API Keys** tab in [User Management](/administration/user-management.md). Personal keys in User Settings are for individual use only.

## 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.aohwv.dev/administration/user-settings.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.
