Scribe helps you generate API documentation for humans from your Laravel codebase. See a live example at [demo.scribe.knuckles.wtf](https://demo.scribe.knuckles.wtf). Features -------- [](#features) - Useful output: - Pretty single-page HTML doc, with human-friendly text, code samples, and in-browser API tester ("Try It Out") - Generates Postman collection and OpenAPI spec - Smarts. Scribe can: - extract request parameter details from FormRequests or validation rules - safely call API endpoints to get sample responses - generate sample responses from Eloquent API Resources or Transformers - Customisable to different levels: - Customise the UI by adjusting text, ordering, examples, or change the UI itself - Add custom strategies to adjust how data is extracted - Statically define extra endpoints or information that isn't in your codebase > 👋 Scribe helps you generate docs automatically, but if you really want to make friendly, maintainable and testable API docs, there's some more things you need to know. So I made [a course](https://shalvah.teachable.com/p/api-documentation-for-developers?utm_source=scribe-laravel&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=none) for you.🤗 Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Check out the documentation at [scribe.knuckles.wtf/laravel](http://scribe.knuckles.wtf/laravel).
