First things first, make sure your API is all set up in Xano. This means you need to define your endpoints, set up authentication, and add any logic or data handling your API needs.

Head over to your API group in Xano. On the left-hand sidebar, you'll spot an option called "API Documentation". Click on that to get to the interactive documentation builder.

In the API Documentation section, make sure interactive documentation is turned on. Xano usually has this on by default, but it's always good to double-check.

Pick the endpoint you want to document. Here, you can add descriptions, specify parameters, and define responses. Customizing each endpoint in detail helps make your documentation clear and precise.

For each endpoint, you can add example requests and responses. This gives users a clear idea of how to interact with the API and what to expect in return. These examples are super helpful for making your documentation more interactive and user-friendly.

Xano lets you test your endpoints right within the documentation. Use this feature to make sure your API works as expected and to show potential users how to use it. Testing helps catch any issues and ensures the interactive elements are working correctly.

Organize your endpoint documentation in a logical way. Group related endpoints together, and use sections and headings to make the documentation easy to navigate. Good organization makes it easier for users to find the information they need.

Once you're done with customization and testing, save your changes. Xano will automatically generate and update the interactive API documentation. You can then share the documentation with your team or public users by giving them the documentation URL.

Regularly update your documentation to reflect any changes in your API. This ensures that users always have access to the most current and accurate information. Interactive documentation should evolve along with your API to stay effective.

Gather and review feedback from users about your documentation. Use this input to make necessary improvements and enhancements. Continuous refinement based on user experience helps maintain high-quality interactive API documentation.
