To generate RESTful API documentation, this Skill conducts structured interviews to define endpoints, error handling, and rate limiting, outputting a comprehensive api.md file. It guides you through authentication strategies and error response formats.

Defining API error handling and rate limiting is achieved through a guided interview process that prompts you for specific error response formats and constraints. This ensures your API design maintains clarity and consistency.

Yes, you can use Python scripts for API parsing and documentation formatting as the Skill requires the requests and jsonschema libraries. These dependencies validate schemas and structure the final documentation output.

To ensure frontend and backend alignment after schema design, this Skill documents all API endpoints comprehensively. It translates structured interview responses into a detailed api.md file that serves as a single source of truth.

Yes, this approach supports documenting various authentication strategies by guiding you through RESTful API design principles during the interview. It helps specify how clients authenticate and manage access tokens.

You need structured interviews to document API contracts when you require expert guidance to ensure all endpoints, error responses, and rate limits are thoroughly defined. This approach streamlines communication and prevents design inconsistencies.
