API docs used to target only human developers. Today, AI agents also read your markdown. Documenting APIs for humans and agents means precise contracts, examples, and stable structure—not only pretty portals. RPM PRO invests in documentation because property management integrations fail when contracts are ambiguous.
Markdown as source of truth
Markdown API references and AI agent documentation travel well: versionable, searchable, and easy to regenerate from a service registry. They also support discoverability for technical queries around vacation rental APIs and property management integrations.
What agents need from PMS APIs
- Endpoint purpose in one sentence.
- Auth requirements and error shapes.
- Example requests that actually work.
- Field lists without ambiguous names.
What humans still need
Narrative context, diagrams where helpful, and “when would I call this?” guidance. Agents parse structure; people need judgment. Add an AI-oriented section and keep it honest—hallucinated endpoints in a model answer usually trace back to vague human docs.
