Apidog Version >= 2.6.25 is required.
You can access the SEO settings by clicking theSEO Settings
icon on the right side of the endpoint documentation or Markdown pages.
URL Slug
You can create custom URL slugs for your endpoints, Markdown documents, and folders, making them more search engine-friendly. Once a slug is set, the URL for the page in the shared API documentation will appear as:https://your-domain.com/{slug}
.
:::tip Note
If you have configured a custom domain for your published docs, the custom URL in the settings will display as that designated domain.

page, where you can customize the relevant rules.
:::tip Note
- For newly published documents, the system will automatically apply redirects when URL rules are modified.
- For existing data, the system will automatically apply redirects when the resourceKey specification is changed.
As the system manages redirects automatically, the rules you set here will not appear in the "Publish Docs -> Publish -> Docs Redirect Rules" table.

Docs Redirect Rules
If you need to change an existing slug in your documentation, you can set up redirect rules to ensure users can still access the correct documents and avoid broken links.
On the document publishing settings page, you can configure multiple redirect rules. When users access the old slug, the system will automatically redirect them to the new slug.
