# 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 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.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/configure-targets/configure-api-targets/configure-raml-targets.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.
