# Quick Start

Welcome to Flow's Customer API. You can use our API to access information available in your Flow organization (or organizations you are associated with) to build a customized experience.

If you have questions that are not addressed in this documentation or need additional help, reach out to <support@flowinc.com>. We'd be happy to assist.

## Get your API keys

Your API requests are authenticated using JWT.

You can generate a JWT by reaching out to our support team at **<support@flowinc.com>**. Our support team will get you the token you need.

## Make your first request

Authentication is based on an API key. You need to set the `Authorization` header to this value:

`Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT`

{% hint style="info" %}
You must replace `YOUR_JWT` with your corresponding API key.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="curl" %}

```shell
curl "https://api.flowinc.app/customerapi/funds" \
  -H "Authorization: bearer YOUR_JWT"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Ruby" %}

```ruby
require 'json'
require 'net/http'

uri = URI('https://api.flowinc.app/customerapi/funds')
params = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
jwt = 'YOUR_JWT'
params['Authorization'] = "Bearer #{jwt}"

response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port) { |http| http.request(params) }
puts JSON.parse(response.body)

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Js" %}

```javascript
const url = 'https://api.flowinc.app/customerapi/funds'

fetch(url, {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": `Bearer ${YOUR_JWT}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
})
.then(response => {
    return response.json();
})
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# 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:

```

```

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.
