Pro Tips & Insights

01
AI search is a 'Zero-Sum Game' for APIs. If your API isn't cited in the top 3 results for an integration query, it's effectively invisible to developers seeking solutions.
02
The 'Contextual Integrity' Score: LLMs cross-reference API documentation with real-world usage examples. Inaccurate or incomplete technical details lead to content de-prioritization.
03
Strategic Asset: Maintain a '/api-crawl.txt' file. This acts as a structured index for AI agents, ensuring efficient discovery of all API versions and endpoints.
04
Data Structure is a Signal: AI prioritizes structured data. Using tables for comparison of API features or response formats significantly increases their likelihood of being used in AI-generated answers.
