Documentation a developer can actually build against.
Clear, structured API reference documentation — endpoints, authentication, examples, and error handling — for your own dev team, partners, or third-party integrators.
An undocumented API is a support queue waiting to happen.
Every integration partner without clear docs becomes a Slack thread, a support ticket, or a call with your one engineer who understands the system. Proper documentation is what lets other developers — internal, partner, or third-party — build against your API without needing you in the room.
Written alongside a Zaawia-built API, so docs and implementation never drift apart.
Auditing and documenting an API you already have, whoever built it originally.
Guides and quickstarts for external integrators, not just an internal reference dump.
Typically two to four weeks, depending on endpoint count.
Documentation scope is more predictable than a full build — the range below covers most engagements; larger APIs are confirmed after the audit.
API Audit
Every endpoint, parameter, and response reviewed directly against the API — not just existing internal notes.
Specification
Structured as an OpenAPI specification — the source of truth both the docs and any future tooling can be generated from.
Writing & Examples
Authentication guides, code examples per language, and error handling documented in plain, direct language.
Publish & Handover
Published to a hosted documentation portal, with a handover on how to keep it updated after each release.
What's actually in the handover.
A documentation portal your developers and partners can use immediately, not a Word doc that goes stale after the next release.
- OpenAPI / Swagger specification
- Interactive API reference (try-it interface)
- Authentication & endpoint guides
- Code examples per language
- Error handling & status code reference
- Versioning & changelog structure
- Partner onboarding quickstart guide
- Hosted documentation portal
Built on the specs and tools developers already expect.
No proprietary formats — documentation your team or partners can maintain with standard, widely-used tooling.
Before you ask, you might wonder…
No — documenting an existing API, regardless of who built it, is a common standalone engagement. It naturally pairs with our Web Application service when the API is newly built alongside it.
On a dedicated documentation portal, either hosted by us or embedded within your existing developer site — decided during scoping based on your setup.
Technical API documentation is delivered in English as standard, matching how developers globally expect to read API references — unless your integrator audience specifically requires Arabic, which can be scoped on request.
Your team, using the OpenAPI specification as the source of truth — we walk your developers through the update process at handover. An ongoing documentation maintenance plan is also available if preferred.
Varies by API — the audit stage gives an exact endpoint count and confirms timeline within the two-to-four-week range, or beyond it for larger APIs.
Stop being the only person who understands your own API.
