Tools To Help You Create API Documentation

Image

Nowadays, many paid and free tools can help us make beautiful API documentation for our software projects. These are a few of them with an explanation of each advantage.

  1. RapiDoc
    This open-source tool can generate API documentation based on OpenAPI specifications. So, if you already use the Swagger tool to generate your documentation, you can use the configuration and generate a new documentation page instantly. To use RapiDoc, we can create an HTML file that includes the Javascript library provided by RapiDoc or we can include it in a Javascript framework like React and Vue. It is very customisable, we can add custom HTML or markdown in the generated documentation, apply a dark theme or custom style, create custom methods, and many more. It also supports in page console to try an API request.

  2. ReadMe
    It is a service that can transform static API documentation into interactive developer hubs. Developer hubs mean it can monitor developer activities that interact with the API endpoints and provide metrics and insight. Later, the result can be used to improve the API or to manage necessary updates. It is available for free and paid subscription for more features. ReadMe is a complete solution for generating API documentation from the creation, distribution, and monitoring.




  3. Redocly
    It is quite similar to ReadMe with a cheaper cost and a focus on integration, deployment, and delivery of your API documentation. The main design of the documentation page uses a three-column design where the right side is used for previewing sample code. Redocly is also available in free and paid subscriptions. Besides, there is the community edition of this tool named Redoc.


  4. Stoplight
    This is another complete API documentation solution. The difference is that it focuses on the design flow of your API documentation creation. This tool is also part of SmartBear so if you already use SmartBear, the integration can be seamless. 

  5. DapperDox
    It is a lightweight and free solution to generate API documentation that focuses on the browseability of the content. We can use markdown to generate the content.

Deploying a Web Server on UpCloud using Terraform Modules

In my earlier post , I shared an example of deploying UpCloud infrastructure using Terraform from scratch. In this post, I want to share how to deploy the infrastructure using available Terraform modules to speed up the set-up process, especially for common use cases like preparing a web server. For instance, our need is to deploy a website with some conditions as follows. The website can be accessed through HTTPS. If the request is HTTP, it will be redirected to HTTPS. There are 2 domains, web1.yourdomain.com and web2.yourdomain.com . But, users should be redirected to "web2" if they are visiting "web1". There are 4 main modules that we need to set up the environment. Private network. It allows the load balancer to connect with the server and pass the traffic. Server. It is used to host the website.

Installing VSCode Server Manually on Ubuntu

I've ever gotten stuck on updating the VSCode server on my remote server because of an unstable connection between my remote server and visualstudio.com that host the updated server source codes. The download and update process failed over and over so I couldn't remotely access my remote files through VSCode. The solution is by downloading the server source codes through a host with a stable connection which in my case I downloaded from a cloud VPS server. Then I transfer the downloaded source codes as a compressed file to my remote server through SCP. Once the file had been on my remote sever, I extracted them and align the configuration. The more detailed steps are as follows. First, we should get the commit ID of our current VSCode application by clicking on the About option on the Help menu. The commit ID is a hexadecimal number like  92da9481c0904c6adfe372c12da3b7748d74bdcb . Then we can download the compressed server source codes as a single file from the host. ...

How To Verify Phone Number for Free Using WhatsApp

If you have a product or business that maintains user information like phone numbers, verifying the validity or ownership of the phone number could become important, as the phone number can be used as an authentication method or targeted marketing channel. The typical phone verification procedure is by generating a code or OTP in our application, sending that OTP to the user's phone, and then the user should insert the OTP in our application for verification. The OTP can be sent to the users through services like SMS or WhatsApp that require a valid phone number. For internet-based communication, WhatsApp has become the de facto standard for sending the OTP. WhatsApp requires its users to have a valid phone number during account creation, and it already has a huge number of users, approximately 3 billion in 2025. Using that common procedure, WhatsApp will charge us for each OTP sent. The cost depends on the country of the target phone number. For Indonesia...

Increase of Malicious Activities and Implementation of reCaptcha

In recent time, I've seen the increase of malicious activities such as login attempts or phishing emails to some accounts I manage. Let me list some of them and the actions taken. SSH Access Attempts This happened on a server that host a Gitlab server. Because of this case, I started to limit the incoming traffic to the server using internal and cloud firewall provided by the cloud provider. I limit the exposed ports, connected network interfaces, and allowed protocols. Phishing Attempts This typically happened through email and messaging platform such as Whatsapp and Facebook Page messaging. The malicious actors tried to share a suspicious link lured as invoice, support ticket, or something else. Malicious links shared Spammy Bot The actors leverage one of public endpoint on my website to send emails. Actually, the emails won't be forwarded anywhere except to my own email so this just full my inbox. This bot is quite active, but I'm still not sure what...
