Summary

APIMatic's Docs as Code strategy treats documentation like code, using tools and processes similar to those for writing code, incorporating Version Control, CI/CD, and branching into the documentation realm. This approach allows users to specify all aspects of API documentation as code, generating comprehensive API reference documentation, programming language-specific documentation, SDKs with code samples, custom Markdown guides, and more. The process involves downloading a sample repository, providing custom content, building a configuration file, generating an API Portal, hosting it on a web server, automating the workflow using GitHub Actions, creating repository secrets, testing the workflow, and deploying to a server. APIMatic's Docs as Code workflow enables users to manage their API Portal as code, automate deployments, and create better SDKs with minimal effort.
