This project is the public home for the source that will eventually generate the API documentation for Best Buy's API. It will be served at https://developer.bestbuy.com/documentation once it is production-ready, but for now is available at https://bestbuyapis.github.io/api-documentation/.
The documentation is powered by the fantastic Slate project, an API documentation generator that is open source and very popular.
In the spirit of being a public API, we've chosen to publicize the generators that create our documentation. By doing this we hope to be more transparent when we make changes and provide a gateway for our consumers to become contributors.
You'll want to go to https://bestbuyapis.github.io/api-documentation/ for the compiled version. This project just shows the source code we used to generate it.
