What do you use to document a REST API?

[Tim_Seyfarth]

Hello all,

Can anyone suggest a tool to document a RESful API? I have to create one and since I have not ever done this before (either create or document) I could really use some direction and tips.

Thanks everyone!

You could use RapidAPI… previously known as Paw.

RapidAPI for Mac – The most advanced API tool for Mac

I’m going to try SwaggerHub. That seems to be the best/easiest I can find so far.

Thanks again,
Tim

Hello, for a new API we are developing, we are using scalar. if you have an open api spec file, you can just load it on it.

You should consider Swagger (OpenAPI), Postman, or Apiary for documenting a RESTful API. They offer intuitive interfaces and generate interactive documentation, client SDKs, and mock servers.
