A comprehensive, self-initiated project showcasing a hypothetical Voucher API with modern documentation design and interactive features. This project demonstrates advanced API documentation writing capabilities, technical implementation skills, and user experience design principles.
- Structured API Documentation: Well-organized reference with endpoints, parameters, and examples
- Documentation Design: Modern, responsive layout with consistent typography
- Interactive Elements: Code examples with syntax highlighting, tabbed language support, and copy-to-clipboard functionality
- Technical Implementation: MkDocs configuration, custom CSS/JS, and build setup
- Documentation Features: Authentication guides, error handling examples, and webhook integration
- Navigation and Accessibility: Clear navigation, search functionality, and responsive design for mobile devices
The Voucher API documentation is built using MkDocs with custom styling and interactive elements. The following instructions describe how to:
- Install dependencies and set up the development environment
- Run a local development server for live editing and preview
- Build the documentation site for production deployment
- Python 3.8+
- pip (Python package manager)
-
Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url> cd voucher-api-docs
-
Set up virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
-
Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Start the development server
mkdocs serve
-
Open your browser Navigate to
http://localhost:8000
to view the documentation -
Make changes Edit markdown files in the
docs/
directory and see live updates
The built site will be available in the site/
directory.
