# View vendors and associated purposes

**Option 1)** There's an easy way to see it directly in the vendors' view. For example, for Smart ad server, you need to click on the "view partners" link in your CMP, and then click on the vendor for which you wish to see the purposes.

**Option 2)** 

1. *A) Not IAB vendors* : Vendors and associated purposes can be called on */metadata/partners* (not the "vendors" but 'partners' section in the following documentation about metadata: <https://api.didomi.io/docs/#/partners-storages>.)\
   Please note that the endpoint partners is not listed in the above but it's the right one to call.&#x20;
2. B) *IAB Vendors* : the information is nested within the GVL ; <https://vendor-list.consensu.org/v3/vendor-list.json>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.didomi.io/consent-management-platform-cmp/frameworks-regulations/iab-tcf/view-vendors-and-associated-purposes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
