# Extracting request bodies from the web-editor

Constructing request bodies for complex video generation jobs can become very complicated very quickly. To get ahead of this we provide a way to use our web-based video-generation tool (*Colossyan Studio*) to export the payload for the video you see.&#x20;

1. To do this, open any draft you'd like to generate via the API.&#x20;
2. Click on the "Generate" button on the top right corner of your editor, than in the dialog appeared  you should see a button called "Export to API", click that button.
   1. *Note that you can only see this button if you have API access.*
3. In the appearing modal, you should see the request body that you can send to generate the exact video that you can see in the editor.
4. Feel free to customise this payload.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.colossyan.com/getting-started/publish-your-docs.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 `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` 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.
