# Content | How to create Guidebooks per API

**Prerequisites**

We recommend completing these initial setup steps manually in the GUI, as they only need to be performed once:

1. Create a POI Library: Set up at least one library dedicated to POIs. ([manually](/get-started/getting-started.md#prepare-library) / [API](/developers/content-api/content-or-create-library-or-guidebook.md#a-create-geodata-library))
2. Create a Route Library: Set up at least one library dedicated to Routes. ([manually](/get-started/getting-started.md#prepare-library) / [API](/developers/content-api/content-or-create-library-or-guidebook.md#a-create-geodata-library))
3. Set the Default Accommodation Library: Create a Geodata library, then navigate to Account Settings to set it as your default accommodation library.
4. Set the Default Destination Library: Create a Geodata library, dedicated for destinations only

### Recommended Workflow: Automated Guidebook Creation via API

**Follow this sequence to fully automate your guidebook creation process:**

1. Populate Libraries *(Perform as needed)*
   * [Add POIs to your POI library](/developers/content-api/content-or-create-and-update-point-of-interests-pois.md). 
   * [Add Routes to your Route library.](/developers/content-api/content-or-create-and-update-routes.md)
   * Add hotels to your accommodation library using the same process as adding POIs.
2. Structure the Guidebook
   * [Create the Guidebook.](/developers/content-api/content-or-create-library-or-guidebook-1.md#a-create-guidebook)
   * [Create the Stages within the Guidebook.](/developers/content-api/content-or-create-category.md)
3. Assemble the Content
   * [Add Routes to their respective Stages.](/developers/content-api/content-or-8.-assembling-the-guidebook.md)
   * Add POIs to Stages using one of two methods:
     * Option A: [Programmatically add each POI individually](/developers/content-api/content-or-8.-assembling-the-guidebook.md#a-add-route-or-poi-to-stage).
     * Option B: [Link the library directly to the Guidebook](/developers/content-api/content-or-8.-assembling-the-guidebook.md#b-connect-library-to-guidebook)—GUIBO will automatically match and attach all POIs along the routes.
   * [Add Textpages to complete the itinerary.](/developers/content-api/content-or-8.-assembling-the-guidebook.md#c-add-textpage)

## 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.guibo.travel/developers/content-api/content-or-how-to-create-guidebooks-per-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.
