A practical approach to maintaining accurate, developer-friendly REST API documentation at scale
Maintaining accurate REST API documentation is a major challenge for FinTech platforms that operate globally and in regulated environments. Outdated or inconsistent documentation can slow down integrations, create compliance risks, and frustrate developers.
To address this, I created the FinTech API Docs Toolkit, an open-source repository that combines CI/CD pipelines, OpenAPI validation, and CLI utilities to automate the documentation lifecycle.
Key features include:
- CI/CD Integration: Automatically validates and deploys API documentation whenever endpoints are updated.
- CLI Tooling: Allows developers to validate requests, sign payloads, and test integrations locally.
- Versioned Documentation: Ensures developers always have access to the latest API specifications.
This approach ensures that developer portals remain accurate, integrations are faster, and operational risks are minimized. The toolkit is designed for global payout platforms, B2B APIs, and regulated financial services environments.
