1. API Contract Documentation

Template:

# API Endpoint: {Name}

**Method:** POST | GET | PUT | DELETE
**Path:** `/v1/category/action`
**Authentication:** Required | Optional | None

## Description

What this endpoint does and when to use it.

## Request

**Headers:**

Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer


**Body:**
```json
{
  "field1": "string",
  "field2": 123,
  "field3": true
}

Field Descriptions:

field1 (string, required): Description
field2 (integer, optional): Description
field3 (boolean, required): Description

Response

Success (200 OK):

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "result": "value"
  }
}

Error (400 Bad Request):

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Error message",
  "code": "ERROR_CODE"
}

Error Codes

Code	Description	Action
`INVALID_INPUT`	Field validation failed	Check request body
`UNAUTHORIZED`	Invalid or expired token	Re-authenticate

Examples

cURL:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/category/action \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "field1": "value",
    "field2": 123
  }'

TypeScript (Desktop):

const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}/v1/category/action`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    field1: 'value',
    field2: 123,
  }),
});

Swift (iOS):

let url = URL(string: "\(apiBaseURL)/v1/category/action")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.setValue("Bearer \(token)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")

let body = ["field1": "value", "field2": 123]
request.httpBody = try JSONEncoder().encode(body)

Kotlin (Android):

val response = apiClient.callAPI(
    endpoint = "/v1/category/action",
    method = "POST",
    body = mapOf(
        "field1" to "value",
        "field2" to 123
    )
)

Rate Limiting

Limit: 100 requests per minute per user
Response Header: X-RateLimit-Remaining
On Exceed: HTTP 429 with retry-after header

✅ Links checked
✅ Spelling and grammar checked
✅ Formatting consistent
✅ Screenshots current

Best Practices

1. Code Examples

Always Provide:

Working, tested examples
Comments explaining complex parts
Error handling demonstrations
Platform-specific variations

Format:

```typescript
// Clear comment explaining what this does
const example = async () => {
  try {
    // Step 1: Do something
    const result = await someAction();

    // Step 2: Handle result
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    // Error handling
    console.error('Failed:', error);
    throw error;
  }
};
```

2. Visual Aids

Use Diagrams For:

System architecture
Data flow
Sequence diagrams
State machines

Use Screenshots For:

UI walkthroughs
Configuration screens
Expected results

Use Tables For:

Configuration options
API parameters
Comparison data
Error codes

3. Cross-References

Link Related Documents:

For more details on authentication, see:
- [API Contract](API_CONTRACT.md#authentication)
- [Integration Guide](INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md#auth-flow)
- [Security](SECURITY.md#jwt-tokens)

4. Searchability

Use Clear Headings:

Make headings descriptive and specific
Use keywords that users will search for
Maintain consistent heading structure

Add Keywords:

Include common terms in descriptions
Add aliases for technical terms
Use tags or labels where appropriate
