# Set up a use case using API

The first time you visit the License view; you willl notice that the value in the risk column is set to *Unknown* for all licenses. This is because you have not yet configured any use cases for your repositories. You can select a use case through the API using the endpoint:

```
/api/{version}/open/repository-settings/repositories/{repositoryId}/select-use-case
```

To do so, send a JSON containing a choice of the use case, for example:

```
"useCase": 2
```

Here, the *useCase* can be one of the following integers: 

* 0/null - Unknown
* 1 - Non-distributed internal
* 2 - Non-distributed public
* 3 - Distributed generic
* 4 - Distributed electronics

Here’s an example showing you how to set the use case to “Non-distributed public” for a repository with ID = 1337:

```
curl -X 'POST' \  'https://debricked.com/api/1.0/open/repository-settings/repositories/1337/select-use-case' \  -H 'accept: */*' \  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token> \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -d '{ "useCase": 2 }'
```

## 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.debricked.com/product/license-risk-management/set-up-a-use-case/set-up-a-use-case-using-the-api.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.
