I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized
this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or
the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to
iterate on this effectively.
It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to
document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that
currently don't discuss these issues.
While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels
could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.
Firstly, change endpoint descriptions in zulip.yaml so that they
match their counterpart in the api docs. Then edit the api docs
so that they use api description markdown extension for displaying
endpoint description.
This refactors get_members_backend to return user data of a single
user in the form of a dictionary (earlier being a list with a single
dictionary).
This also refactors it to return the data with an appropriate key
(inside a dictionary), "user" or "members", according to the type of
data being returned.
Tweaked by tabbott to use somewhat less opaque code and simple OpenAPI
descriptions.
This adds get_single_user to python_examples.py in zerver/openapi.
This also adds get-single-user.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
get-single-user to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
When passing arguments with the `-d` syntax, which is convenient for
command-line examples, one needs to specify `-X GET` for curl to work
properly.
Fixes#12116
Since the Zulip API runs on both developement and production
servers, it is misleading to mention "dev servers" when discussing
zuliprc files.
Also, note that it is better to manually edit all of our JS
examples than to implement macro-like functionality that we use
for our Python examples. For our current purposes, it would be
too much work to build a full-blown testing framework for our
JS code examples just so that we can fix a minor wording issue.
Fixes#10672.
This commit modifies the Markdown extension in bugdown/api_code_examples.py
to support rendering code examples in multiple languages by specifying
the language like so:
{generate_code_example(python)|doc.md|example}
This makes us one step closer towards adding support for testable
JavaScript code examples.
We now have a separate page for common error payloads, for example,
the payload for when the client's API key is invalid. All error
payloads that are presented on this page will be tested similarly
to our other non-error sample fixtures.
It makes sense to make our Python and JS API examples more visible
than our curl examples, since Python is what most people will tend
to use.
Also, from a design perspective, an API documentation page that
starts off with a shiny Python example with syntax highlighting
looked much better than having a bland curl example be the first
thing readers see.
