API Reference

Welcome to the API Documentation Template page! Here, you'll find the basic structure and guidelines for documenting APIs. This template provides a standardized format for documenting API endpoints, methods, parameters, and responses. Whether you're documenting a RESTful API, GraphQL API, or any other type of API, this template will help you create clear and comprehensive documentation that is easy for developers to understand and use.

As API documentation is typically separate from standard documentation, you can use an integrated table of contents to combine the section and page navigation with the table of contents for each page all under the left navigation menu. For example, the Authentication, User Information, and Update Profile sections on this page would appear on the left navigation menu under API Reference.

  'example_user', 
  'password123'

Update Profile

updateProfile(userId, newData) - Updates the user's profile with new information.
