Done! You now own a Bond. The applicable NFT will show up in your wallet, and output tokens will begin vesting over the amount of time shown on the Bond.

#### Claiming Vested Tokens

Once you own a Bond, you'll see Claim and View buttons on the Bonds page. You can claim any vested tokens from an individual Bond using the Claim button, or you can use the Claim All button at the top right to claim all vested tokens across multiple Bonds.

## 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://docs.ape.bond/apebond/products-and-features/bonds/reserve-bonds/how-to-buy-a-reserve-bond.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.
