Follow the simple steps below to activate this feature: **Step 1:** Log into your Cloudsmith account and navigate to API Settings. See screenshot below. We'll have to gather an API Key. Direct URL: ![User account dropdown menu displaying settings, documentation links, and logout option.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-65a7cae7d814f681400f14ed57c1061a53f705da%2Fucarecdn-bb3a1b86-d787-4566-8712-e3ff29a8f9ed.png?alt=media) You can copy the API key directly from this screen: ![API key management and restriction settings for Cloudsmith account integration and security.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2c9dd9376767e4d6f1509b84ea54b965e021412b%2Fucarecdn-bd01d550-c677-423f-9ebd-e9260b2833a2.png?alt=media) **Step 2:** Enter the collected data in Aikido (direct link: ) ![Form to connect and authenticate a Cloudsmith container image registry account.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8d0f49570ab6edb33d118836a7c6963dc858e768%2Fucarecdn-794eaef4-1fac-4a30-a710-c00889f12a8f.png?alt=media) * **Username** can be found in your user account on top (see first screenshot above) * **Organization Namespace** can be found here: ![Organization membership management dashboard showing user role and organization options.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d1abec25bef33db1635fbd4a293df3c2c92c3fab%2Fucarecdn-9043f1ca-03bc-472a-a2b9-51763d085696.png?alt=media) **Step 3:** Aikido will now find all container repositories you can access and list them. **Step 4:** Repositories can be linked to a code repository in order to perform better deduplication of findings. This step is optional! **Step 5:** In the action menu next to the registry, click 'scan repos in registry' to get started. Results will appear in the Feed! *** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## 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://help.aikido.dev/container-image-scanning/standalone-registries/cloudsmith-container-registry.md?ask=&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.
