Generating interactive Postman docs
Biography
Though my official title is “backend developer”, on our small team, I’m also a documentation and blog post writer, dataset hunter, marketer, and instructional video-maker. When I’m not doing API-related things, you can find me playing volleyball, disc golf, or at the nearest Trader Joe’s.
Talk description
The story of how our small team automated our way to fully customized, interactive API documentation in Postman–including visualizations, example responses, and an OpenAPI-esque object models section. Along the way, we open-sourced much of the workflow and happened to win a hackathon.
