125-204: Thorough and actionable error documentation.Error cases are comprehensively covered with realistic payloads, clear remediation guidance, and helpful context (e.g., pre-sync local behavior). The distinction between error types (enum, literal, greater-than-equal validation) provides developers with clear debugging paths.
One optional consideration: The documentation could clarify validation behavior for
page_size(e.g., any positive integer, max size limits if applicable) for completeness, though this may not be necessary if the current implementation is lenient.

1-27: Excellent overview and authentication documentation.The overview clearly communicates the endpoint's purpose, and the authentication section effectively documents environment-specific behavior with explicit callouts for local vs. non-local differences. Rate limiting and error handling are well-covered.
30-71: Clear parameter documentation with practical examples.Query parameters are well-documented with validation constraints and defaults. The dual examples (local and non-local) are helpful for developers across environments.
Note on static analysis hints: The bare URL warning on line 63 is a false positive (the curl command is properly indented as a code block). The gitleaks warning on lines 68–71 is also a false positive (clearly a placeholder). However, to reduce future tooling noise, consider explicitly labeling the placeholder more clearly (e.g.,
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HEREor a comment like# Replace with your actual API key).
75-122: Comprehensive response documentation.The 200 OK response is well-documented with a realistic, truncated example that clearly shows the paginated envelope. The field overview provides quick reference without redundancy. The truncation note demonstrates good documentation practice.

71-75: Clarify that API key example is a placeholder.The curl example includes
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_VALUE, which Gitleaks flagged as a potential credential. WhileYOUR_API_KEY_VALUEis clearly a placeholder, add an explicit note to prevent readers from accidentally sharing real API keys in similar examples.Consider adding a callout or comment like:
curl -X 'GET' \ 'https://<nest-base-url>/api/v0/projects/?level=flagship&ordering=created_at&page=1&page_size=100' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ - -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_VALUE' + -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_VALUE' # Replace with your actual API key; never commit real keys
115-127: Enhance field overview with type information.The field overview is helpful but lacks type hints, making it harder for API consumers to understand the expected data types. Consider restructuring to include types:
🔎 Proposed enhancement to field overview
Field overview (based on the schema): -- current_page -- has_next -- has_previous -- items[] (array of project objects when present): +- **current_page** (integer): Current page number +- **has_next** (boolean): Whether a next page exists +- **has_previous** (boolean): Whether a previous page exists +- **items[]** (array of objects): Project objects (when present): - created_at - key - level - name - updated_at -- total_count -- total_pages +- **total_count** (integer): Total number of projects matching the filter +- **total_pages** (integer): Total number of pagesThis makes it clearer what type each field is and improves usability for API consumers.

1-217: Comprehensive documentation with good examples and error coverage.The documentation is well-structured, covers authentication differences between local and non-local environments, documents all query parameters with valid values and defaults, includes realistic example requests and responses, and provides concrete error examples. The pre-sync local development behavior note is a nice touch for developers setting up locally. All key aspects of the endpoint (pagination, filtering, ordering, rate limits, error handling) are addressed.

I added some formatting updates.
The major point though is that API docs needs to be kept within the code here --
Nest/backend/apps/api/rest/v0/project.py
Line 68 in 6ccd528

@arkid15r Are you saying that the API documentation should be a comment block inside the corresponding python file? I want to make sure I'm clear on what the desired end product should look like. Thanks again for the patience as I try to work through things :-) |
My recommendation is very high-level and doesn't carry any implementation specifics. The idea is having it all in a single place available via Swagger -- https://nest.owasp.org/api/v0/docs |
