Transform Your API Workflow

For API Providers

Enterprise API Documentation

Challenge: A fintech company with 200+ API endpoints needed comprehensive documentation for external developers. Manual documentation was taking weeks and falling out of sync with code changes.

Solution: API Concierge imported their OpenAPI spec, generated examples in 6 languages, and created interactive docs with live testing.

✨ Result: Documentation time reduced from 3 weeks to 2 hours. Developer onboarding 5x faster.

# Before: Manual documentation
Time: 3 weeks | Updates: Manual | Examples: 2 languages

# After: API Concierge
Time: 2 hours | Updates: Automatic | Examples: 6 languages
Developer satisfaction: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
For API Consumers

Faster Third-Party Integration

Challenge: A SaaS startup needed to integrate 5 different payment gateways. Each had poor documentation, inconsistent examples, and undocumented error codes.

Solution: API Concierge analyzed each gateway's API, identified common error patterns, and generated comprehensive integration guides with error handling.

✨ Result: Integration time cut by 70%. Reduced production errors by 85%.

# Common error detected and fixed
❌ Original: Missing retry logic
✅ Generated: Exponential backoff with 3 retries
✅ Added: Rate limit detection
✅ Added: Proper error messages
For Developer Teams

Internal API Discovery

Challenge: A large tech company had 50+ internal microservices with inconsistent documentation scattered across wikis, READMEs, and Slack threads.

Solution: API Concierge scanned all services, created a unified documentation portal with smart search, and integrated with their CI/CD pipeline for auto-updates.

✨ Result: Developers found needed APIs 10x faster. Cross-team collaboration improved significantly.

For Educational Platforms

Teaching API Development

Challenge: A coding bootcamp needed to teach REST API best practices but struggled with creating up-to-date, interactive learning materials.

Solution: API Concierge generated interactive documentation with live examples, common mistakes highlighted, and step-by-step tutorials.

✨ Result: Student engagement up 60%. Assignment completion rate improved by 40%.

Payment API Documentation Generation

Input: OpenAPI Specification
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: Payment API
  version: 1.0.0
paths:
  /payments:
    post:
      summary: Create payment
      requestBody:
        content:
          application/json:
            schema:
              properties:
                amount: { type: number }
                currency: { type: string }
Output: Generated Python Example
import requests
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter
from requests.packages.urllib3.util.retry import Retry

# Best practice: Retry logic for resilience
session = requests.Session()
retry = Retry(total=3, backoff_factor=0.3)
adapter = HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retry)
session.mount('http://', adapter)
session.mount('https://', adapter)

def create_payment(amount: float, currency: str):
    """Create a payment with proper error handling."""
    try:
        response = session.post(
            "https://api.example.com/payments",
            json={"amount": amount, "currency": currency},
            headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"},
            timeout=10
        )
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
        print("Request timed out. Please try again.")
    except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as e:
        print(f"HTTP error occurred: {e}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
Added Value: AI-Generated Error Guide

Common Errors & Solutions

  • 401 Unauthorized: Check that your API token is valid and not expired.
  • 400 Bad Request: Ensure amount is a positive number and currency is ISO 4217 format (e.g., "USD").
  • 429 Rate Limited: Wait 60 seconds before retrying. Consider implementing exponential backoff.
  • 500 Server Error: This is on our end. Safe to retry after a few seconds.
