# Early Links

## How to use early links

* Early links can be inputted in your bot, typically where you put your keywords. 
* The early links ensure you are able to get the product **as quick as possible** and beats out people using keywords or ones that don't have early links

Within the early links category you will also find channels for each release. The **#kith** is where you can find all early links for kith, as kith doesn't accept keywords for botting. 

## Early Links with Variants

Variants allow you to target **specific sizes for a specific product**. These variants are the numbers in the image below. If your bot has variant support, you can input these to have an even quicker checkout than when using a link,

Using an early link allows your bot to **precart** the product and setup the checkout for you. Once the stock goes live on the size then you will instantly go to processing and attempt to checkout.

## 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://help.thenorthcop.com/utilizing-release-information/early-links.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.
