The Designer Series: Setting Standards in API Design

Documenting your APIs properly is the top priority when successfully onboarding API consumers into your services. While it’s extremely important to ensure that your documents exactly describe what your API does, it is equally important that your APIs looks and feels like a quality piece of documentation.

When you have inconsistent, sub-standard documentation, it can be incredibly frustrating for APIs consumers to use your services. To avoid the frustration, many API creators have elected to use SwaggerHub for API documentation and standardization guidelines to ensure their teams and organizations produce quality documentation with the end users in mind.

In this session, we will cover:

• How to standardize the API documentation process
• How to programmatically verify all API guidelines standardization rules
• How to equip designers with reusable components to unify all documents
