# VARIO Cloud Developer Docs

VARIO Cloud is designed to be extended. For individual customer projects and for building reusable products.

In-house IT teams, agencies and freelancers implementing custom solutions for VARIO customers, as well as independent developers and partners building public apps.

Depending on the use case, VARIO Cloud can be integrated via the [REST-API](/documentation/rest-api/introduction.md), extended with [private or public apps](/documentation/apps/introduction.md), automated using [webhooks](/documentation/webhooks/introduction.md), or enhanced with custom logic through workflows and [scripting](/documentation/scripting/introduction.md).

This allows you to build anything from a single customer integration to a public app that can be distributed to many customers through the VARIO App Store.

# 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 current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.vario-software.de/readme.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.
