This was a great <a href="https://productanonymous.com/" target="_blank">Product Anonymous</a> session with <a href="https://au.linkedin.com/pub/jason-cormier/15/131/744" target="_blank">Jason Corimor</a> of <a href="https://www.mashery.com/" target="_blank">Mashery</a> that covered the business and commercialisation of using APIs, I intend to expand on a few of these topics in the future, so will touch upon them here.

API stands for 'Application Programming Interface' and as the name implies, creating one is a technical process. This article will talk very little about how to create an API as there are a myriad of methods to undertake that. This article aims to focus on the business side of APIs and supply advice for non-technical folk.

API documentation is generally predictable, follows common patterns, and is one of the least interesting tasks in a documentation project. It's also a task with a degree of pre-existing automatic generation tools and practices. It sounds like a perfect use case for AI-assistive tools! In this post, I look at general and specialized tools for generating API documentation from code and text-based prompts. I also cover potential problems and pitfalls in generated docs and how to test the generated output to ensure its accuracy.
