v5 is out now!

Scribe helps you generate API documentation for humans from your Laravel codebase. See a live example at demo.scribe.knuckles.wtf.

Features

  • Useful output:
    • Pretty single-page HTML doc, with human-friendly text, code samples, and in-browser API tester ("Try It Out")
    • Generates Postman collection and OpenAPI spec (v3.0.3 or v3.1.0)
  • Smarts. Scribe can:
    • extract request parameter details from FormRequests or validation rules
    • safely call API endpoints to get sample responses
    • generate sample responses from Eloquent API Resources or Transformers
  • Customisable to different levels:
    • Customise the UI by adjusting text, ordering, examples, or change the UI itself
    • Add custom strategies to adjust how data is extracted
    • Statically define extra endpoints or information that isn't in your codebase

👋 Scribe helps you generate docs automatically, but if you really want to make friendly, maintainable and testable API docs, there's some more things you need to know. So I made a course for you.🤗
