||||
|
||||
**Total: 131 endpoint documentation files organized in 18 groups**
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **100% API Coverage** - All 123 operation IDs documented
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
The API documentation uses Mintlify's native OpenAPI support to automatically generate interactive API documentation from the OpenAPI specification file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Components
|
||||
|
||||
1. **openapi.yaml**: The source of truth for API endpoints, copied from `api/src/backend/api/specs/v1.yaml`
|
||||
2. **MDX files**: Enhanced documentation for each endpoint with examples, tips, and additional context
|
||||
3. **docs.json**: Mintlify configuration that references the OpenAPI spec
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating the Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### When the API Spec Changes
|
||||
|
||||
When you update the OpenAPI specification in `api/src/backend/api/specs/v1.yaml`, you need to sync it to the docs:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From the root of the repository
|
||||
cp api/src/backend/api/specs/v1.yaml docs/api-reference/openapi.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Consider automating this with a pre-commit hook or CI/CD pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding New Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
To document a new API endpoint:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Update the OpenAPI spec** in `api/src/backend/api/specs/v1.yaml`
|
||||
2. **Sync to docs**: Copy the spec to `docs/api-reference/openapi.yaml`
|
||||
3. **Create MDX file**: Create a new `.mdx` file in the appropriate directory
|
||||
4. **Update navigation**: Add the new page to `docs/docs.json` in the API Reference tab
|
||||
|
||||
#### MDX File Template
|
||||
|
||||
```mdx
|
||||
---
|
||||
title: "Endpoint Title"
|
||||
api: "METHOD /api/v1/endpoint"
|
||||
description: "Brief description of what this endpoint does."
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed description of the endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
## Path Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
- `param` (required/optional) - Description
|
||||
|
||||
## Query Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
- `param` (required/optional) - Description
|
||||
|
||||
## Request Body
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"example": "request"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Request
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X METHOD "https://api.prowler.com/api/v1/endpoint" \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Response
|
||||
|
||||
Description of the response.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Changes Locally
|
||||
|
||||
To preview documentation changes locally:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd docs
|
||||
mintlify dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mintlify Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The API documentation is configured in `docs/docs.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
- **openapi**: Points to the OpenAPI spec file
|
||||
- **api.baseUrl**: The base URL for the API
|
||||
- **api.auth.method**: Authentication method (bearer token)
|
||||
- **api.playground.mode**: Interactive API playground mode
|
||||
|
||||
## API Endpoint Groups
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Endpoints
|
||||
- **Authentication (3)**: JWT token management and tenant switching
|
||||
- **API Keys (5)**: Programmatic API access management
|
||||
- **Users (1)**: User profile and information
|
||||
- **Tenants (3)**: Organization and invitation management
|
||||
|
||||
### Cloud Infrastructure
|
||||
- **Providers (6)**: Cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) configuration
|
||||
- **Scans (5)**: Security scan execution and results
|
||||
- **Findings (6)**: Security findings and vulnerabilities
|
||||
- **Resources (5)**: Cloud resource inventory and metadata
|
||||
|
||||
### Compliance & Reporting
|
||||
- **Compliance (4)**: Compliance framework assessments (CIS, PCI-DSS, etc.)
|
||||
- **Overviews (5)**: Dashboard aggregated statistics
|
||||
|
||||
### Integrations & Automation
|
||||
- **Integrations (7)**: External service integrations (S3, Security Hub, JIRA, Slack)
|
||||
- **Lighthouse AI (5)**: AI-powered security insights configuration
|
||||
- **Processors (2)**: Finding processors and mutelists
|
||||
- **Schedules (1)**: Automated scan scheduling
|
||||
|
||||
### System
|
||||
- **Tasks (2)**: Asynchronous task monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Keep OpenAPI spec up to date**: Always update the source spec first, then sync to docs
|
||||
2. **Add examples**: Include real-world examples in MDX files
|
||||
3. **Use callouts**: Leverage Mintlify components like `<Note>`, `<Tip>`, `<Warning>` for important information
|
||||
4. **Test playground**: Verify that the interactive API playground works for each endpoint
|
||||
5. **Document filters**: For list endpoints, clearly document all available filters
|
||||
6. **Include rate limits**: Document any rate limiting or pagination requirements
|
||||
7. **Group related endpoints**: Keep related endpoints in the same directory
|
||||
8. **Use consistent naming**: Follow the pattern `action.mdx` (e.g., `list.mdx`, `create.mdx`, `retrieve.mdx`)

## Syncing OpenAPI Spec
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenAPI specification is maintained in the API repository and should be synced regularly:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Using the provided sync script
|
||||
cd docs
|
||||
./sync-api-spec.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Or manually
|
||||
cp ../api/src/backend/api/specs/v1.yaml ./api-reference/openapi.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `sync-api-spec.sh` script automates this process and can be integrated into your CI/CD pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
## Automation 🤖
|
||||
|
||||
**NEW**: Documentation can now be auto-generated from the OpenAPI specification!
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start with Automation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd docs
|
||||
|
||||
# 1. Sync latest OpenAPI spec from GitHub
|
||||
./sync-api-spec.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Generate MDX files automatically
|
||||
python3 generate-api-docs.py
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Test locally
|
||||
mintlify dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`sync-api-spec.sh`** - Downloads latest OpenAPI spec from GitHub
|
||||
2. **`generate-api-docs.py`** - Generates/updates MDX files from OpenAPI spec
