REST API documentation often contained missing examples that writers had to identify manually, then research endpoint specifications, construct XML payloads, test them against a live environment, and check formatting and confidentiality requirements. I explored a workflow that could scan an API guide, identify endpoints without examples, and surface the gaps as a structured review list, shifting the writer’s effort from finding missing content to validating what actually needs to be created.

I then designed a workflow for batch generation of reviewable XML examples, with clear visibility into scan progress, exceptions, selected endpoints and generation status. The system deliberately kept the writer in the loop: generated examples were treated as drafts that required testing and validation before publication, rather than automatically generated final content. This approach was intended to reduce a repetitive, multi-quarter review process into a more focused workflow for identifying, generating and validating missing examples.
