You can audit frontend and backend API contracts by running a script that scans backend endpoints and frontend API calls to map the full API surface, identifying gaps, mismatches, and undocumented endpoints for governance.

Zombie and ghost endpoints are API routes that exist in the frontend or backend code but are mismatched, undocumented, or unused. API contract validation identifies these endpoints to prevent silent failures and deployment issues.

To generate persistent API documentation, run an audit script that scans your codebase and outputs a comprehensive health report directly to docs/API_CONTRACT.md, ensuring your API surface is persistently documented and governed.

Yes, you can use an API contract audit to guide integration tests by validating new routes after code changes, verifying documentation generation, and ensuring the frontend and backend implementations consistently match.

No, the API contract audit relies on standalone scripts and does not require external dependencies, allowing you to directly scan your codebase and output a persistent API inventory without additional environment setup.

Frontend and backend teams often diverge on API contracts after route changes, causing silent failures. Running an API contract audit identifies method mismatches and undocumented endpoints to resolve these communication issues.
