# Element Repository Interface and Functional Flow

This section walks you through the Element Repository interface in Avo Assure. It explains the functionalities available within the Element Repository pertaining to API. The Element Repository enables quick validation of endpoints, request structures, and authentication details without the need to define a test case, ensuring smooth setup before automation.

The **Element Repository** page for API comprises following primary tabs:

* **Request Tab**: Used to configure and send API requests, including method selection, headers, parameters, authentication, and certificate details. To learn more, [**click here**](/avo-assure/avo-assure-supported-technologies-for-automation/api-automation/element-repository-interface-and-functional-flow/about-the-request-tab.md).
* **Response Tab**: Displays the server’s response to the API request, including status codes, response body, and headers for validation and further analysis.

* **Import APIs Definition**: Used to import APIs definitions such as **Swagger** or **WSDL** using a **file or URL** to automatically generate API request details in the Element Repository.

## 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.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/avo-assure-supported-technologies-for-automation/api-automation/element-repository-interface-and-functional-flow.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.
