Clients can host their CAR file on an HTTP server, such as S3, and provide that URL when proposing the storage deal. Once accepted, Boost will automatically fetch the CAR file from the specified URL. See [As a client](/v1/getting-started/boost-client.md) for more details. ## Web UI Boost comes with a web interface that can be used to manage deals, watch disk usage, monitor funds, adjust settings and more. ![Boost Web UI](https://968384846-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F01F3nbbmdopOdEHfj4fF%2Fuploads%2FiIIvOGSVFslO9lR8NBD8%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-03-23%20at%2010.12.26%20AM.png?alt=media\&token=43e6fc9d-a9be-480b-9cc0-2c9b41ffc361) ## Backwards compatibility with go-fil-markets package Boost supports the same endpoints as `go-fil-markets` package for making storage and retrieval deals, getting the storage and retrieval ask, and getting the status of ongoing deals. This ensures that clients running lotus can make deals with Storage Providers running boost. ## A client for proposing deals that doesn't require a Lotus node Boost comes with a client that can be used to make storage deals, and can be configured to point at a public Filecoin API endpoint. That means clients don't need to run a Filecoin node or sync from chain. See [As a client](/v1/getting-started/boost-client.md) for details. --- # 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://boost.filecoin.io/v1/features.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.
