Akeneo API documentation

This repository holds the sources for the documentation of the REST API that was released in 1.7.

The API documentation can be found here: api.akeneo.com.

Installation for dev/preview purposes

Requirements

Install Docker Engine.

Build with docker

make build

This is only building the documentation. The documentation is not available with this command, as it does not launch the HTTP server.

Build and launch HTTP server with docker

make watch

The REST API documentation site is then available on localhost:8000. Files located in the content and src directories are watched for changes, so when developing you do not need to launch any other task.

Deployment

Automatic

To deploy the content of your PR, first merge your PR, and then trigger the CircleCI task continue_with_prod?.

NOTE: Once the "continue_with_prod?" task is completed, there is a delay before the new version of the documentation becomes visible.

Manual

In case you want to re deploy the Serenity documentation, look at the latest merge in master and click on Deployment.

Then click on Rerun.

Custom properties

Our Swagger spec is extended with custom properties:
