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.
