Mintlify

API

Programmatic documentation generation for codebases

Overview

The Mintlify API enables programmatic creation and management of code documentation. It provides RESTful endpoints for parsing source code (supporting JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, and more), generating structured docs, and updating existing documentation projects. Responses are in JSON format, with schemas for doc components like functions, classes, and parameters. Use cases include automating doc updates in CI/CD pipelines, syncing docs across multiple repositories, and embedding documentation workflows into development tools to ensure docs stay aligned with code changes.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://docs.mintlify.com')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
