Letting developers try endpoints right from API Documentation - UX Case Study

API documentation can be a tedious process for developers, who often find themselves jumping between the app and the API documentation to understand how each endpoint works. To address this issue, APIMatic aimed to create an interactive API documentation feature that allows developers to play around with endpoints while reading the API documentation, providing a clear understanding of what each endpoint does before diving into code. By adding a tab called "Console" with input fields and reflecting these fields to the code directly, APIMatic made its documentation interactive, enabling developers to test endpoints in real-time without having to leave their IDE. This feature was well-received by developers during usability testing, showcasing the potential for interactive API documentation to improve developer experience.
