Tools like Swagger, Postman, and Redoc are excellent at documenting endpoints, parameters, and response shapes — and they're the wrong tool for the parts of API integration that happen outside the API itself: where to find your API key in the dashboard, how to configure a webhook URL, what the OAuth consent screen looks like. Those steps cause a disproportionate share of support tickets because they're visual and nobody wrote them down. Guidyy fills that specific gap with screenshot-led guides that sit alongside your reference docs.
Developer Documentation
API Documentation That Includes the Dashboard Steps, Not Just Endpoints
Reference docs cover endpoints and payloads. Guidyy covers the part reference tools miss — the dashboard clicks around the API, like generating a key or setting a webhook.
01
What reference docs don't cover
Where to generate an API key, how to rotate one without downtime, what the webhook config screen actually looks like, and what a successful OAuth consent flow looks like end to end. These are exactly the steps that spawn 'how do I even start' support tickets.
02
Pairing Guidyy with your existing API reference
Keep Swagger/Redoc as the endpoint reference. Add a Guidyy guide as the 'getting started' link at the top of your docs — the dashboard walkthrough that gets a developer to their first successful API call.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I embed a Guidyy guide inside my Docusaurus or GitBook docs site?+
Yes, every guide has an iframe embed link that works in Docusaurus, GitBook, Mintlify, and most static doc site generators.
Does Guidyy replace tools like Swagger or Postman?+
No — Guidyy complements them. Use Swagger for the endpoint reference and Guidyy for the visual dashboard steps around the API.
