Best Practices for Creating API Documentation
Increase the usability of API documentation
Code samples are often the most wanted part of API documentation. Make them readable, visually
separating them from text: use highlighting and special boxes to make them visible, use tabs to
demonstrate different code samples simultaneously.
Update API documentation regularly
API documentation maintenance and update will be quick and easy with ClickHelp. Single-sourcing and
content reuse allow you to update several documents simultaneously. Apart from that, you can publish and
republish separate topics, which is a convenient solution if not all topics in a project are ready for
publishing or are to be updated later on.
Standardize your documentation formatting
When your API documentation is written by a team of tech writers, it’s important to follow strict
standards. Use Quick Parts to insert 100% identical elements: table, boxes, pieces of text, etc. Use our
ready-made collection of Quick Parts or create your own ones.
Include tutorials, FAQs, and other learning materials
API documentation is always highly efficient when it is user-friendly. Provide customers with additional
learning materials such as tutorials or FAQs to increase product adoption. Even tech-savvy audience
expects to see comprehensive instructions on how to use a product. Use cases, application examples,
typical complexities - all that is a great helping hand for users.
Gather feedback
API documentation is efficient if customers find it easy to understand and helpful. In the ClickHelp
documentation portal, your customers will be able to upvote or downvote a topic to let you know if it is
helpful or not. This simple option will help you find information gaps.
