# Access docs as Markdown

Copy and view documentation in a clean, AI-ready format.

Many AI tools work best when content is provided in a clean, structured format such as Markdown. 

With Apryse docs, you can view or copy documentation pages as Markdown, making it easier to use documentation as context for AI-powered conversations and tasks. When you view or copy a page as Markdown, you get content that can be easily consumed by AI tools such as Claude, Codex, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot.

### Discover the benefits

Markdown pages allow you to:

* Ask AI assistants questions about specific documentation content.
* Copy and share clean, AI-friendly versions of documentation pages.
* Focus AI interactions on specific topics or articles.
* Generate code examples from documented features and APIs.
* Summarize and extract key information from documentation.
* Troubleshoot implementation and configuration issues.
* Provide accurate documentation context for AI-powered tasks.

### Decide when to use

Markdown pages are ideal when you want an AI assistant to help you understand or apply information from a particular article.

| Use Markdown pages to                                          | Consider another option to                                                                                                                        |

| Ask questions about a specific documentation page.             | <p>Ask questions while browsing the site's documentation.<br>→ Use <a href="/explore-docs-with-ai/chat-with-ai-assistant.md">AI Assistant</a></p> |
| Generate code based on documented functionality.               | <p>Get contextual guidance while reading documentation.<br>→ Use <a href="/explore-docs-with-ai/chat-with-ai-assistant.md">AI Assistant</a></p>   |

### Copy or view Markdown

Use Markdown pages when you want an AI tool to work with the content of a specific documentation page. Markdown removes most site navigation and presentation elements, making the content easier for AI assistants, coding tools, agents, and retrieval systems to consume. You can either share the Markdown URL directly or copy the content into a conversation.

#### View as Markdown

Use this option when you want to review or share the Markdown version of a page.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open any page from the Apryse docs site.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
From the **Ask** menu, select **View as Markdown.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Review, copy the content, or ask your coding agent to use the Markdown endpoint directly.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### Copy as Markdown

Use this option when you want to paste documentation into an AI conversation. This option is helpful when your AI tool can't browse external URLs, when you want complete control over the context, or when you want to combine multiple pages.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open any page from the Apryse docs site.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
From the **Ask** menu, select **Copy as Markdown**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Paste the Markdown content into your AI tool.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Ask your question. Provide clear instructions so the AI tool can use the documentation as context for its responses.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Explore examples

From your AI assistant or coding agent, add the following prompts to get started.

{% prompt description="Get started with a feature" defaultExpanded="partial" %}

```markdown
Add the Apryse Web SDK to my React + Vite app. Use this documentation: https://docs.apryse.com/web/get-started/libraries-and-frameworks/react.md.
```

{% endprompt %}

{% prompt description="Understand a specific page" defaultExpanded="partial" %}

```markdown
Based on this documentation, explain how OCR works for the Apryse Server SDK: https://docs.apryse.com/core/ocr/ocr.md.
```

{% endprompt %}

{% prompt description="Provide context for coding agents" defaultExpanded="partial" %}

```markdown
Use this documentation as the source of truth to generate code examples when digitally signing PDF files with the Apryse Server SDK: https://docs.apryse.com/core/get-started/samples/digitalsignaturestest.md.
```

{% endprompt %}

{% prompt description="Troubleshoot an issue" defaultExpanded="partial" %}

```markdown
Review this Apryse Server SDK documentation about Smart Data Extraction. Identify configuration steps that are commonly missed:
[pasted Markdown]
```

{% endprompt %}

# 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. 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 current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/explore-docs-with-ai/access-docs-as-markdown.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.
