Creating and maintaining API documentation for any project is a tremendous task that eats up most of your time. However, we can't ignore this step in web development engineering because API docs play a significant role in collaboration, decision-making, and guidance.
For the last few months, my team and I have been working on developing LiveAPI, a super convenient tool for creating API Docs with the help of AI. Existing documentation tools, for example, Swagger, take time and effort from developers to set up and maintain. We saw an opportunity here and developed an easy doc generation tool that works within a few clicks.
Here, I will explain how I created API Docs using LiveAPI.
- First, sign up for LiveAPI here.
- Once logged in, find and select the "Create API Docs" option.
- Paste the GitHub/GitLab URL of the open-source or your personal project.
- Click the "Create Docs" button and allow a few minutes for the process to complete.
- Once finished, the documentation will be hosted on LiveAPI, and you can access the link immediately.
Using this method, I created API docs for 5 open-source web projects within 10 minutes:
- Mongo-express: A web-based MongoDB admin interface written with Node.js, Express, and Bootstrap 5
- InvenTree: An open-source inventory management system that provides powerful low-level stock control and part tracking.
- Freescout: FreeScout is the super lightweight and powerful free open source help desk and shared inbox built with PHP (Laravel framework).
- BookStack: A platform for storing and organising information and documentation.
- realworld-springboot-java: ReadWorld.io backend project using spring boot java using spring-security, spring-data-jpa
Try LiveAPI today to create API docs for your personal or open-source projects in minutes.
