How do I find my Helpjuice API Key?

Log in to your Helpjuice account, go to **Settings**, and you will find your **API Key** listed in the account or integration section. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access API settings.

What is the Helpjuice 'Subdomain'?

The subdomain is the unique part of your Helpjuice URL (e.g., if your KB is at `mycompany.helpjuice.com`, your subdomain is `mycompany`).

Can I search for specific terms across my documentation?

Yes! Use the `search_kb` tool. It performs a real-time search across article titles and body content, returning the most relevant results from your knowledge base.

Is the integration secure for managing documentation?

Absolutely. The integration uses official Helpjuice API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
