# Getting Started: The ClientId

A Client ID is a unique identifier assigned to a client application that interacts with a RESTful API. It is used to authenticate and authorize the client, ensuring secure communication between the client and the API. The Client ID helps the API server recognize the client, track its usage, and apply appropriate access controls

## 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.alemba.com/asm-hermes/integrate/apis/asm-api-quick-reference-guide/getting-started-the-clientid.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.
