Within each index you can easily see the price history, underlying index assets and a button called “Details” to learn more about the index and actually issue the index ## Index Issuing To issue an index click on the index that you are interested in so you can go to the details page of the index.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cook-protocol.gitbook.io/english/the-platform/index-selectors.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
