API documentation is the key to making your APIs understandable—not just for developers, but also for AI-powered tools like Gemini 2.5 Pro. If your docs are clear and structured, AI can generate reliable code with ease. But manually documenting APIs is time-consuming, and let’s be honest—it’s boring.

That’s where EchoAPI comes in. EchoAPI doesn’t just debug APIs—it helps you auto-generate structured, AI-friendly API documentation with minimal effort. Whether you're working with REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, or even Socket.IO, EchoAPI takes care of the heavy lifting.

Why EchoAPI? The Debugging Tool That Writes Your Docs While You Code

Let’s be real—API debugging can be a pain. You’re juggling different protocols, testing endless endpoints, and then, just when you think you’re done…

“Wait, where’s the documentation?”

That’s where EchoAPI comes in. It’s not just another debugging tool—it’s your personal API assistant that handles debugging, logging, and even writing your documentation while you focus on building.

One Tool to Debug Them All

Forget switching between different platforms—EchoAPI supports them all in one place.

• HTTP & GraphQL – Easily debug RESTful and GraphQL APIs. No Postman? No problem!
• WebSockets & SSE – Debug real-time data streams effortlessly (perfect for chats & live updates).
• Socket.IO & TCP – Dive into event-driven APIs without breaking a sweat.

Debugging That Writes Itself

The best part? EchoAPI isn’t just watching you debug—it’s taking notes. As you test requests and responses, it logs and structures them into fully formatted API documentation.

It’s like having an AI-powered technical writer working in the background, so you can stop stressing over missing docs and focus on shipping awesome features.

Debug once, document forever. Sounds good, right?

Step-by-Step: Auto-Generate API Docs with EchoAPI

1️⃣ Debug Your API (EchoAPI Does the Hard Work!)

Start by debugging your API inside EchoAPI. No matter the protocol—HTTP, WebSocket, GraphQL, or Socket.IO—you can send requests, receive responses, and tweak parameters on the fly.

• For REST APIs, EchoAPI captures request-response pairs.
• For WebSockets & Socket.IO, it logs real-time message flows.
• For GraphQL, it parses queries/mutations automatically.

Every request and response logged during debugging is stored and structured for documentation.

2️⃣ Save Responses as API Examples

Once you have a working API request, click to save the response as an example. EchoAPI pairs each request with its corresponding response, ensuring your documentation stays accurate and developer-friendly.

Why does this matter?
LLMs like Gemini 2.5 Pro use structured API documentation to auto-generate code. If your docs contain real request-response examples, AI models will produce more accurate API calls in real-world applications.

3️⃣ Auto-Generate & Share AI-Optimized API Docs

✅ For REST APIs: EchoAPI automatically structures your endpoints into OpenAPI (Swagger) format.
✅ For WebSockets/Socket.IO: EchoAPI captures event-driven message flows and structures them into a readable API document.

EchoAPI captures real-world API behavior and converts it into documentation—automatically.

Once EchoAPI has generated your API documentation, you can:
Export it as OpenAPI (Swagger) JSON/YAML.
Publish an interactive API reference and share it with your team or integrate with API platforms: Content edited and saved in the API design and debugging modules will automatically generate an online API document. These documents can be easily shared with the front-end team and include detailed information such as API endpoints, request parameters, response examples, and more.

With AI-friendly docs, tools like Gemini 2.5 Pro can:

• ✅ Autogenerate client SDKs with minimal human intervention, streamlining development processes.
• ✅ Instantly understand your API structure, enabling AI to generate more accurate and contextually relevant code.
• ✅ Minimize API call errors thanks to real-world examples in the documentation, ensuring smooth, error-free integration.
• ✅ Enhance collaboration between development and AI teams by ensuring that both can rely on consistent, standardized API documentation.
