Stop fielding Slack questions about request shapes. Turn your FastAPI service into a self-documenting API with Swagger UI, ReDoc, polished endpoint summaries, and a machine-readable openapi.json that SDK generators can consume.
Message a mentor about fit, prerequisites, or where to start. Replies come on WhatsApp, usually within a day.

Ship an API with Swagger UI, ReDoc, hand-polished endpoint summaries, and a downloadable openapi.json that SDK generators can consume.
Turn your FastAPI service into a self-documenting API with Swagger UI, ReDoc, and a machine-readable spec.
What you'll ship
What you'll learn
Curriculum
Why self-documenting APIs
See the cost of undocumented APIs and tour the OpenAPI 3.1 spec that fixes it
FastAPI auto-docs
Turn on Swagger UI and ReDoc, then polish summaries, descriptions, response models, tags, and operation IDs
Polishing schemas
Make every Pydantic model document itself with field descriptions, examples, and richer metadata
Error contracts
Document every error response with a typed schema so clients can handle failure well
Ship the spec
Export openapi.json, generate a client SDK, and version the API for real consumers
Who it's for
who ship APIs that nobody else on the team can figure out how to call
who spend afternoons answering the same questions about request shapes and error codes
who want the frontend team to generate a typed client instead of hand-writing fetch calls
FAQ
A little helps. You should be comfortable defining routes and Pydantic models. If you have never touched FastAPI, spend an hour with the official tutorial before starting.
The OpenAPI concepts (paths, components, schemas) are identical. The code examples use FastAPI because it generates a spec for free, but the polishing patterns transfer to any framework that speaks OpenAPI.
Swagger UI is interactive and lets you try endpoints from the browser. ReDoc is a clean, reader-focused layout that is better for long-form docs. FastAPI serves both out of the box.
Yes if you want client SDKs, mock servers, contract tests, or a docs portal that survives outside your running service. The JSON file is the contract that every tool reads.
