What platform should I use to create developer-friendly API documentation?

Question

Hello everyone!

We are looking for a better way to provide documentation for third-party developers who use our API. Currently, we store the documentation on Github as a markdown file. Do you know of a more elegant and simple solution? Thank you!

We use Readme (https://readme.com/) and love it! It makes adding API references and letting users try them from the browser really easy. We also love the Recipe feature for step by step instructions. And the metrics are great too!

You can try Archbee. With Archbee, you break up your documentation into separate Spaces (public or private). 
Each Space contains what you need to share product-related updates: user guides, public or private portals, API docs, in-app contextual documentation, sync github repo with an Archbee space

When it comes to creating developer-friendly API documentation, there are several platforms and tools available. The choice depends on your specific requirements and preferences. Here I recommend Document360 for API Documentation.

Document360 is a popular API development and Knowledge base platform that includes features for creating and documenting APIs. It lets you define requests, specify endpoints, provide examples, and generate documentation. Document360's built-in documentation generator simplifies the process of creating developer-friendly API documentation.

Here are some notable features of Document360 for API documentation:

1. API Reference Documentation
2. Interactive API Explorer
3. API Versioning and Management
4. Developer Portal Customization
5. Search and Navigation
6. Analytics and Insights
