The problem with presenting API is that it is hidden. It gets the job done in the background.
So it is not "attractive" in the way some other dev tools can be.
But you can:
- show the end result and how it gets the job done.
- show how easy it is to use.
- let people play with something interactive to make it real.
That is how Mux, video API, solves it.
Found this awesome crossover on their homepage.
They give you:
- devvy language that just says what it does without high-level fluff
- code, input/outputs
- end result of your API call, to make it real
- demo to get the feel real-time
Love it!
