# Setup guide

Tability's public API requires 2 thing:

* A workspace with a Premium subscription
* A workspace user with API access enabled 
* A Personal API token

## Premium Subscription

You can upgrade your subscription from the billing section of your workspace.

1. Go to **Workspace settings > Subscription**
2. Click on **Manage your subscription**
3. Upgrade to the Premium subscription

## API access enabled

By default, API access is turned off for every user in a workspace. You will need to enable it to allow specific user accounts to use the public API for your workspace.

1. Go to **Workspace settings > Users**
2. Find the user that needs API access enabled
3. Click on their name
4. Set **API access enabled** to *Yes*

## Personal API token

The last thing that you'll need is your **Personal API token**.

1. Go to <https://tability.app/account>
2. Copy your **Personal API token**

## 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://guides.tability.io/api/getting-started/setup-guide.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.
