Comprehensive API Documentation System

[Drago-03]

Issue: Comprehensive API Documentation System

Description

Current API documentation is fragmented across multiple files and lacks a standardized approach. We need a comprehensive, auto-generated API documentation system that stays in sync with the actual codebase.

Current Implementation Issues

• Documentation spread across multiple locations (app/api-docs, app/docs, DOCUMENTATION.md)
• No automated generation from code comments or schemas
• Inconsistent formatting and structure across endpoints
• Missing examples for many API endpoints
• No versioning information in the documentation
• Limited search functionality for developers
• No interactive testing capabilities

Proposed Solution

Implement a comprehensive API documentation system that:

• Auto-generates docs from code comments and type definitions
• Provides a consistent format for all endpoints
• Includes interactive testing capabilities
• Offers versioning support
• Features a powerful search system

Implementation Requirements

• Choose an API documentation framework (Swagger/OpenAPI, ReDoc, etc.)
• Implement standardized JSDoc or similar comments for all API endpoints
• Create a documentation build process as part of CI/CD
• Design a user-friendly documentation UI
• Add an interactive API testing console
• Implement search functionality
• Include versioning information

Acceptance Criteria

• All API endpoints are documented with consistent format
• Documentation is automatically generated from the codebase
• Examples are provided for request/response of each endpoint
• Interactive testing console allows developers to make API calls
• Search functionality helps find specific endpoints
• Documentation is versioned to match API versions
• Authentication requirements are clearly documented

Additional Notes

This documentation system should be designed with both internal developers and external API consumers in mind. It should serve as a complete reference for all API capabilities.
