  1. Publish API Docs

Publish docs sites

Publishing a docs site is distinct from using theQuick Sharefeature. WhileQuick Sharegenerates a shareable link for internal and external partners, serving as a temporary communication method, it’s not intended for long-term use.
In contrast, the Publish Docs Sites feature allows for more robust customization. It lets you personalize the domain name, page design, navigation, and more. This feature is ideal when you need to make your API documentation publicly accessible on your official website.

Publish your docs site#

Click on the default main site and then click thePublishbutton.

Docs site visibility setting#

Apidog version must be β‰₯ 2.6.39.
After clicking on thePublish button, you can easily control the visibility of your published doc sites based on your needs. Simply click thePublish right nowbutton to make your site live.
docs sites visibility setting.png
Available Visibility Settings:
1.
Public: Your doc sites will be accessible to all internet users. You can also choose to publish your API documentation on API Hub, a platform operated by Apidog that helps users discover and explore APIs.
2.
Password protected: If you prefer to secure your API documentations with passwords, enablePassword protectedand set a password β€” either by creating your own or generating a random one.

3.
IP Allowlist: Restrict access to your doc site to only the specific IP addresses or ranges that you configure.
IP allowlist settings.png
4.
Email Allowlist: Only the emails on your configured email allowlist can access your doc sites by verifying their emails through verification codes. The email allowlist supports wildcards, making it easier to manage access for enterprise emails.

Publishing scope#

By default, the scope for publishing documentation is set to allSharedresources. You can configure this in theAPIs. For more details, please refer to visibility settings.

Release#

You can create and publish multiple versions of your API documentation. Learn more about publishing API versions.
release settings for API Documentations.jpg

Domain#

Apidog provided domain: Your document will have a default Apidog Subdomain, such as https://vhh2uhkjv7.apidog.io. You can also modify it manually. All Apidog documents use the apidog.io domain.
Custom Domain: You can bind the Apidog document to your own domain. Learn more about Custom domain.

Documentation search#

While the published API documentation includes a built-in search feature by default, Apidog offers integration with Algolia to enhance search capabilities. Learn more about documentation Search.

CORS proxy#

You can specify a CORS proxy to avoid issues caused by browser security restrictions. Learn more about CORS Proxy.

Google analytics#

The Apidog doc sites now supports integration with Google Analytics. Learn more about integrating Google Analytics with Doc Sites.

Publish to API hub#

You can choose to publish your docs on API Hub, an open platform operated by Apidog, designed specifically for sharing and exploring APIs.

Description#

If the project has been published to the API Hub, then this description will be displayed on API Hub.

Allow 'Export', 'Clone' data#

You can export the released documentation data in main branch.

Docs redirect rules#

You can set up redirect rules to automatically redirect users to the correct documentation when URLs change, preventing broken links and ensuring a seamless experience.

URL & Slug rules#

Define URL rules for your API documentations.

Publish multiple docs sites#

To publish docs across different channels within the same project, you can create additional docs sites during publishing. For easier management, you can duplicate the main site’s configuration for each new site. Each sub-site can also have a unique custom domain name.
publishing-docs-sites-introduction-05.png
Only subsites let you set the visibility scope for published docs, allowing you to choose which resources are publicly accessible.
