Document your API like a pro: Postman Collection best practices
Blog post from Postman
Postman Collections serve as executable documentation for APIs, allowing developers to organize multiple API requests and collaborate on API design and documentation. Effective documentation is crucial for ensuring that users can easily access and understand an API's capabilities, and Postman provides templates to help create comprehensive and user-friendly documentation. Best practices include maintaining simplicity, using consistent formatting, and creating a thorough overview section. It is important to consider a wide audience, use style guides, and incorporate feedback from various reviewers to ensure clarity and usability. Documentation should also include descriptions of requests, parameters, and any deprecations, along with examples of responses to aid in user comprehension and troubleshooting. Sharing collections, possibly through the Postman Public API Network, can increase visibility and adoption by making APIs more accessible to a global developer community.
