Determine the API type (REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, gRPC), authentication method (API key, OAuth, JWT), base URL and versioning strategy, available endpoints and their purposes, request/response formats, and any rate limiting or usage restrictions.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>Build the documentation structure. Cover every section in <code>references/documentation-structure.md</code>, ordering the most common operations first.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>Generate the output. Follow <code>references/output-template.md</code> for REST APIs; adapt to schema, query, mutation, and subscription examples for GraphQL. Replace all placeholders with realistic example data and show both request and response.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>Document errors and rate limits.
