EasyDocs

API documentation goes stale the moment it’s written by hand. EasyDocs takes the opposite approach: it watches the traffic your API actually serves and generates OpenAPI 3.0 specs from it, so the docs describe what the API does, not what you thought it did when you last touched the YAML.

Everything runs on your machine; there is no cloud service and no data leaves unless you choose a hosted AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or DeepSeek). Point it at a local Ollama model and it works fully offline with no API key; that’s also the fallback when no key is set. Sensitive fields in captured traffic (passwords, tokens, emails, card numbers) are detected and redacted before anything reaches a hosted provider, on by default, and flagged in the docs.

Spec changes can also gate pull requests. easydocs diff compares two spec files and tags each change as breaking, additive, or non-breaking; a --fail-on flag turns it into a CI gate that exits non-zero on breaking changes. A GitHub Action wraps this and posts the diff as a sticky PR comment, updated in place on each push.

The adapters capture true route templates like /users/:id rather than the concrete URLs a proxy sees, which keeps the generated paths accurate. Open source, MIT licensed.
