Ask — API Configuration

Choose which articles Ask can cite in its answers.

useApi takes the request body that Ask sends to the Answer API. The question comes from the reader, and the other fields control the answer.

Filter the source articles

fq restricts which articles an answer can cite. It takes the same filter syntax as every other Miso endpoint.

Set it on client.ui.asks, the context that covers every Ask workflow on the page. Each follow-up answer is a new workflow, so a filter on client.ui.ask does not reach it.

client.ui.asks.useApi({
  fq: 'categories:"Markets"',
});

Filter values are matched exactly. Check yours against the rules for case and quoting.

To change the filter while the page runs, see Filtering (fq).
