API DocMark-API Documentation Generator

Example

Given an API endpoint for retrieving user profiles, API DocMark would generate markdown documentation detailing the GET request format, including URL parameters like `user_id`, necessary headers such as `Authorization`, the JSON response format including fields like `name`, `email`, and `profile_picture`, alongside examples of successful and error responses.

Scenario

Useful for API developers who need to document new or existing endpoints for internal or external use.

Example

For an API endpoint that updates user settings, API DocMark would document the PUT request and detail common errors such as `400 Bad Request` for invalid inputs and `401 Unauthorized` when the request lacks valid authentication, including example payloads that trigger these errors.

Scenario

Crucial for developers and QA engineers to understand possible failures and for client-side developers to gracefully handle errors in their applications.

Example

In documenting an API for posting messages to a forum, API DocMark provides exact curl commands or HTTP request examples that can be copied and executed, alongside the expected response JSON, including status codes and headers, illustrating successful operation and how errors are communicated.

Scenario

Beneficial for new developers onboarding onto a project, API testers, and integrators looking to quickly understand and implement API calls.
