# Configure RAML targets

How to configure RAML API targets for Snyk API & Web

{% hint style="info" %}
**Snyk is rolling out a new navigation.** The steps on this page describe the classic interface. If your view looks different, visit [Navigate the Snyk Web UI](https://docs.snyk.io/navigate-the-snyk-web-ui#where-things-moved) to map these options to the new interface.

## Configure RAML targets

Convert RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) definitions to work with Snyk API & Web for API scanning.

If you have an API defined with RAML, you can configure an API target from that RAML definition for Snyk API & Web to scan. The configuration involves two steps:

1. Change the file extension
2. Add the target as OpenAPI

### Change the file extension

Change the RAML file extension from `.raml` to `.yaml`.

### Add the target as OpenAPI

After you have the file with the new extension, create the target as an OpenAPI target:

1. Navigate to **Targets** and click **Add**.
2. Complete the **Add target** form:
   * **Name**: Enter a meaningful identifier for your target
   * **URL**: Enter the base URL for your API
   * **API Type**: Select **API**, then select **OpenAPI**
   * **OpenAPI schema upload**: Select this option
   * **File**: Choose the RAML file with the `.yaml` extension
3. Click **Add**.

Snyk performs all necessary conversions and creates the target, and you can then scan your RAML API.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/configure-targets/configure-api-targets/configure-raml-targets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
