Onboard a Developer to Your API

Problem this workflow solves

You need to give a new developer — internal or external — clear, tested examples of how to use your API, with correct authentication and working code in their preferred language.

Steps

1
Format and validate JSON request examples
Pretty-print your sample request and response bodies to ensure they are valid JSON. Clean, formatted examples make documentation significantly easier to follow.

2
Convert cURL examples to multiple languages
Take your cURL examples and convert them to Fetch, Axios, Python requests, or PHP so the developer can use whichever language matches their stack without manual rewriting.

3
Verify the example authentication tokens
Decode the example JWT or API token you are sharing. Confirm it contains the minimum necessary claims, uses a strong algorithm, and does not embed any real credentials.

4
Generate structured API documentation
Compile your endpoint details into ready-to-share documentation covering the request format, authentication, response schema, and example cURL commands.

What you achieve

The developer receives clear, language-specific code examples, formatted JSON schemas, validated authentication tokens, and structured API documentation they can use immediately.
