I will document your django rest framework API using swagger


About this gig
An undocumented API creates friction the moment someone other than you needs to use it. Frontend developers end up guessing field names, request formats, and authentication requirements, which slows everyone down and leads to avoidable bugs.
I set up clean, interactive Swagger/OpenAPI documentation for Django REST Framework projects using drf-spectacular. This means real endpoint descriptions, accurate request and response examples, and authentication flows explained clearly so that someone new to your project can start working with your API right away.
What's included:
- Installation and configuration of drf-spectacular on your existing DRF project
- Clear documentation for every endpoint, with realistic examples
- Authentication flow documentation (JWT, Token, or Session-based)
- Role-based permission details, where applicable, so it's clear who can access what
I build Django REST Framework backends myself, including JWT authentication and role-based permission systems, so this isn't a service I'm learning as I go. It's an extension of work I already do regularly.
Please message me before ordering with some background on your API so I can confirm scope and give you an accurate timeline.

FAQ
Do you need access to my codebase?
Yes. I'll need read access to your repository (GitHub, GitLab, or a shared zip) to document your API accurately.
Can you document an API that uses JWT authentication?
Yes, this is included in the Premium package. I document the full authentication flow, including how tokens are obtained and used, and configure the Swagger UI so requests can be tested with authentication directly.
What if my project doesn't follow standard DRF patterns?
Message me with some details about your setup before ordering. I'll confirm scope and let you know if anything needs adjusting before you place an order, so there are no surprises.
Do you provide a Postman collection as well as Swagger docs?
Yes, included in the Premium package. It's available as an add-on for Basic or Standard if you'd like it separately.
Will the documentation update automatically as my API changes?
The Swagger UI updates automatically based on your code once it's set up correctly, since drf-spectacular generates it dynamically. If you add new endpoints later and want them documented with the same level of detail, I'm happy to help with that as a follow-up.
Do I need to provide my own DRF setup, or can you build the API too?
This gig is focused specifically on documentation for an existing Django REST Framework API. If you need the API itself built, feel free to message me. I do that work as well, just as a separate service.
