This is the second in a series of courses for technical writers who want to learn how to write API documentation. The first course is called “Learn API Technical Writing: JSON and XML for Writers”, and it is recommended that you first take that course, unless you are very familiar with JSON and XML, and how to document them.
This course teaches how to document REST APIs. No programming experience is required, but technical writers with programming experience who want to know more about REST APIs will still find it useful.
What are APIs?
APIs (Application Program Interfaces) define how software systems talk to each other, and API documentation is a rapidly growing field. There is a strong need for writers who can understand APIs and explain them so that software developers can understand how to use them. API writers get to be in on the cutting edge of technology in high–paying positions.
What is REST?
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a popular style of web API, and it’s used to communicate data between devices and servers. Different data is contained in different parts of the API requests and responses, and this course explains what those different parts are and how to document them.

This course covered a lot of what I’ve already picked up through my professional experience, but it provided the information in a more organized way. It also provided some good hands on tactics that I can use in the future.

I had only ever heard bits and pieces about REST APIs. Now those abstract sounding lessons i heard about are all coming together. It’s great!

Veronika Telychko –
I guess the structure is perfectly organized. I was advised to take this course and I think it’s worth it. Although I am familiar with the things explained within the initial lectures, I like revising this information and I can say it’s quite simply put that makes the course perfectly matching for newcomers. Thanks!
Christian Villegas –
Easy to understand for product owners like me
Monica Renneke –
very comprehensive. Starts very high level to explain big picture, then drills down. This evaluation is occurring only after the first lecture of the course, but so far, I am pleased with the content.
Christopher Smith –
yes
Vladimir Tarailo –
Good course, nice explanations.
Leena Muchanapally –
This course is good start for the beginners after completing the first course in the series. After completing this course, one can differentiate between different elements and develop the basic API documentation.

It’s a useful session and helpful to understand what exactly API is all about.
