This is my first time working on a collaborative project on GitHub. I was asked to create documentation for a specific part of the project. The project involves building a site similar to IMDb and uses an external API.

To clarify, the documentation is divided into four parts, and my responsibility is External API Integration.

Could you guide me on what exactly needs to be included in this documentation?

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

the blue open is open someother one created it

#

i need to make the red one

#

they say make documentation on external api intregation and push it in the api_intregation.md

Based on this it seems that you're supposed to document your thought process, research, and also any code that you wrote. You must have created some classes/functions for integrating that API, right?

we didnt code a single line

Before...
Well, I guess then you just write about the external API. Note down which endpoints are of interest to your project, what the pricing is (if any), and so on.

#

And also how you plan to do the integration itself. Like, your design for making classes and functions for accessing the API

it wont be documentation , its just planning

#

when you actually implement stuff , you might find that the path you chose is not the optimal and you might change your approach

#

2 part of same page

dire crane
#

having an idea of what exactly you are doing would probably better help people in giving you advice

#

insteada of just a "concept"

grim plume
#

but i am too scared to push it bcz i have no idea what documention means here

#

and my topic is external api intregation

dire crane
#

i think you are supposed to write how you will use this API in your project , how you will tackle the rate lmiting etc and whatnot

grim plume
dire crane
#

again , you are supposed to write documentation for your application
not for TMDB api

dire crane
#

and actually try to write it
instead of getting GPT to generate it

#

because GPT doesnt know what your project is , you do

thanks
