# Web import

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature is currently at a beta stage of development, and is not feature-complete. If you'd like to help make it better, please create an issue in the GitHub repository, post on the Discord, or reach out directly.
{% endhint %}

The extension supports importing items to Zotero from a URL. Currently, the feature is accessed by specifying a list of tags in your user settings, then any Roam blocks which contain any of these tags and have a URL will have an icon appear next to them:

Clicking on the icon will open an import dialog ; the extension will extract all the URLs in the block and its children, attempt to retrieve metadata for those URLs, then display the results.

Select any number of items to import, and a side panel will appear - where you can choose a Zotero library and (optionally) collections and/or tags to use for the import:

## 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://alix-lahuec.gitbook.io/zotero-roam/how-to/web-import.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.
