This output represents the completion of Step 2: gemini → generate_code for the "API Documentation Generator" workflow. This step focuses on providing a comprehensive, detailed, and production-ready code framework for generating professional API documentation.
The generated code provides a Python-based solution leveraging a templating engine (Jinja2) to transform a structured API specification into human-readable documentation (Markdown format in this example). This approach ensures flexibility, maintainability, and scalability for your API documentation needs.
This section provides a robust, Python-based code framework designed to generate detailed API documentation. It utilizes a structured data model for API specifications and a templating engine (Jinja2) to render this data into a professional Markdown document.
To follow best practices, we'll organize the code into a simple directory structure:
api_documentation_generator/ ├── templates/ │ └── api_doc_template.md.j2 # Jinja2 template for documentation ├── api_spec.py # Defines the structured API specification └── generate_docs.py # Main script to generate documentation
This document outlines the detailed architecture plan for the "API Documentation Generator," a system designed to produce professional, comprehensive, and interactive API documentation. This plan focuses on creating a modular, extensible, and robust solution capable of handling diverse API specifications and generating various output formats, including endpoint descriptions, request/response examples, authentication guides, and SDK usage examples.
The primary goal of the "API Documentation Generator" is to automate the creation of high-quality API documentation from various specification formats. This system will serve as a foundational tool for developers, technical writers, and API consumers, ensuring consistent, up-to-date, and easily consumable API information.

The PantheraHive User Management API allows you to programmatically manage user accounts within your PantheraHive ecosystem. You can create, retrieve, update, and delete user records, making it easy to integrate user management into your applications, services, or internal tools.
All requests to the PantheraHive User Management API should be prefixed with the following base URL:
https://api.pantherahive.com/v1
All request and response bodies are formatted as JSON.
Content-Type: application/jsonContent-Type: application/jsonThe API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In case of an error, the response body will contain a JSON object with details about the error. See the [Common Error Codes](#5-common-error-codes) section for more details.
To ensure fair usage and system stability, the API enforces rate limits.
* X-RateLimit-Limit: The maximum number of requests allowed in the current rate limit window.
* X-RateLimit-Remaining: The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.
* X-RateLimit-Reset: The time at which the current rate limit window resets (UTC epoch seconds).
429 Too Many Requests status code will be returned.The PantheraHive User Management API supports two primary authentication methods: API Key Authentication for server-to-server communication and Bearer Token (OAuth 2.0) for user-contextual operations, often obtained via an OAuth flow.
For simple, server-side integrations where a user context is not required, you can use an API Key. Your API Key should be kept confidential and never exposed in client-side code.
To authenticate, include your API Key in the X-API-Key header for every request:
Header: X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
Example (cURL):
curl -X GET \
https://api.pantherahive.com/v1/users \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY'
For applications that interact with the API on behalf of a user, Bearer Token authentication (typically obtained via an OAuth 2.0 flow) is recommended. The token represents the user's authorization to access specific resources.
Include the Bearer Token in the Authorization header:
Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
Example (cURL):
curl -X POST \
https://api.pantherahive.com/v1/users \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
-d '{
"firstName": "John",
"lastName": "Doe",
"email": "john.doe@example.com"
}'
