+API documentation
+=================
+
+Swagger
+-------
+
+The API should be described using OpenAPI specifications and available as a
+`JSON file <https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.0.md>`_
+
+A Swagger editor is available here `<http://editor.swagger.io/>`_ to generate
+such JSON files.
+
+As a result, you should get one JSON file per API. For example the project
+**my** has 2 API: **myAPI1** and **myAPI2**.
+
+- myAPI1.json
+- myAPI2.json
+
+Global API table
+----------------
+It is recommended to list the following API available with an access to the
+Swagger JSON files to help the developers/users to play with JSON.
+
+We propose the following table:
+
+.. csv-table::
+ :header: "API name", "Swagger JSON"
+ :widths: 10,5
+
+ "myAPI1", ":download:`link <myAPI1.json>`"
+ "myAPI12", ":download:`link <myAPI2.json>`"
+
+.. note::
+ During documentation merge/publish at RTD, any file referenced in an RST file with
+ ':download:' and relative path to a contributing project repository is copied, uniquely
+ named, and published with the generated HTML pages.
+
+The code is available here:
+
+.. code:: rst
+
+ .. csv-table::
+ :header: "API name", "Swagger JSON"
+ :widths: 10,5
+
+ "myAPI1", ":download:`link <myAPI1.json>`"
+ "myAPI2", ":download:`link <myAPI2.json>`"
+
+.. note::
+ The syntax of <myAPI1.json> is to be taken literally. Keep '<' and '>'.
+
+.. note::
+ Note the ā€œvā€ in swaggerv2doc!
+ If your JSON file has multiple endpoints, this directive does not preserve the order.
+
+API Swagger
+-----------
+For each API, the ``swaggerv2doc`` directive must be used as follows:
+
+.. code:: rst
+
+ myAPI1
+ ......
+ .. swaggerv2doc:: myAPI1.json
+
+ myAPI2
+ ......
+ .. swaggerv2doc:: myAPI2.json
+
+It will produce the following output:
+
+myAPI1
+......
+.. swaggerv2doc:: myAPI1.json
+
+myAPI2
+......
+.. swaggerv2doc:: myAPI2.json
