Readme

Readme is a platform that lets you create and publish interactive developer documentation for your APIs. Unlike traditional documentation tools, Readme automatically generates API references from your OpenAPI or Swagger files and keeps everything in sync with your code.

The platform includes a built-in editor where you can write guides, add code examples, and explain how your API works. Developers using your API can test endpoints directly from the documentation with the Try It feature, making it easier to understand how everything works.

Readme also provides analytics so you can see which parts of your documentation get the most views and where developers might be getting stuck, helping you improve your API experience over time.

Getting started with Readme is simple and straightforward. Here are the main steps:

• Sign up for a free account on the Readme website and create your first project with a custom name and URL.

• Connect your OpenAPI or Swagger file to automatically generate your API reference, or use the manual editor to document endpoints one by one.

• Use the markdown editor to create guides, tutorials, and help articles. You can add code blocks, images, and videos to make your content more helpful.

• Customize the look of your documentation by choosing themes, colors, and adding your company logo to match your brand.

• Set up authentication so developers can test your API directly from the docs using their own API keys.

• Publish your documentation and share the link with your developer community.

• Monitor how developers use your docs with the built-in analytics dashboard to see popular pages and common issues.
