FinTech API Docs Toolkit
Overview
FinTech platforms operating at scale require accurate, versioned, and continuously deployed API documentation. This repository provides practical patterns and tooling for building and maintaining REST API documentation integrated with CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows.
The toolkit focuses on documentation automation, validation, and developer experience rather than application business logic.
Problem Statement
API documentation often becomes outdated as platforms evolve. In regulated financial environments, inaccurate documentation can lead to integration failures, compliance risks, and operational delays.
This project addresses:
- Documentation drift from production APIs
- Manual documentation deployment
- Lack of developer tool…
FinTech API Docs Toolkit
Overview
FinTech platforms operating at scale require accurate, versioned, and continuously deployed API documentation. This repository provides practical patterns and tooling for building and maintaining REST API documentation integrated with CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows.
The toolkit focuses on documentation automation, validation, and developer experience rather than application business logic.
Problem Statement
API documentation often becomes outdated as platforms evolve. In regulated financial environments, inaccurate documentation can lead to integration failures, compliance risks, and operational delays.
This project addresses:
- Documentation drift from production APIs
- Manual documentation deployment
- Lack of developer tooling for validation and testing
Architecture
The toolkit is designed around three core components:
- OpenAPI-based documentation
- CI/CD-driven deployment
- CLI utilities for developer workflows
Documentation is treated as a first-class artifact and deployed alongside API releases.
CI/CD Integration
Typical pipeline stages include:
- OpenAPI schema validation
- Documentation build and linting
- Automated deployment on versioned releases
This approach ensures documentation accuracy and traceability.
CLI Usage
The CLI utilities are intended to:
- Validate API requests locally
- Assist with request signing
- Support integration testing workflows
Example:
fintech-docs validate openapi.yaml
fintech-docs deploy --env production
