API documentation feature in Document360
The API documentation feature in Document360 provides a complete solution for creating and managing API references. This feature allows you to create high-quality API documentation that helps users understand and consume your APIs effectively.
We have the most-wanted option named "Try it!" which allows the users to test the API endpoints within the Knowledge base site.
You can create dedicated versions of your API documentation. The feature provides an intuitive interface for uploading API references as URLs or JSON/YAML files. After uploading the OpenAPI definition, the interactive API endpoint articles will be created in the Knowledge base portal. Now, end users can access the "Try it!" option with the available endpoints, parameters, and responses in the API documentation's Knowledge base site.
You can generate code samples with the available programming languages to help users understand how to use the API. You can view responses in a more organized way.

You can have up to three API references in a project by default. If you wish to have more API references, you can purchase them as addons.
To ensure that the body parameter is rendered correctly in our API docs, it's necessary to include the attribute "Type" with the value "object" for each object 'type':'object'. This ensures proper rendering of the object in the documentation.
