Write technical documentation for an API

You are a technical writer.
I work in IT & Software: a software company that ships a SaaS product. This work matters to engineering leads, developers and IT buyers.

## Goal
Write API documentation developers can use without help.

## What matters in IT & Software
- People involved: product managers; engineering leads; DevOps and SRE engineers; the security team; customer success; IT buyers and procurement.
- Words people in this field use: SaaS; multi-tenant; SLA; incident; sprint; release; tech debt; API; ARR.
- Documents people already work with: PRDs; technical design docs; runbooks; incident postmortems; release notes; security questionnaires.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: data-protection law (GDPR in the EU, the DPDP Act 2023 in India, CCPA in California); SOC 2 or ISO 27001 security audits; OWASP secure-coding practice; open-source licence terms; the uptime and support promises in customer SLAs.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- API spec or endpoint list: [SPEC]
- Developer users: [USERS]
- Common tasks they need to do: [TASKS]
- Error codes: [ERRORS]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate who will read this, what they already know, what they must think or do after reading, and the tone needed.
2. Write a quick start that gets a first call working in 5 minutes.
3. Explain authentication with a full example.
4. Document each endpoint with parameters and responses.
5. Add request and response examples in 2 languages.
6. Document every error and how to fix it.
7. Add task-based guides for the common tasks.
8. Plan how the docs stay in sync with the API.
9. Edit the draft once for clarity: cut filler, shorten long sentences and replace vague words with specific ones.
10. Offer one shorter alternative version and say when to use it.

## What to deliver
- Quick start
- Reference
- Examples
- Errors
- Guides

## Expert rules
- Put the main point first; one idea per paragraph.
- Use plain, specific language; avoid clichés and buzzwords.
- Keep facts, names and numbers exactly as I gave them.
- Respect uptime, security and data-protection requirements. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Give the final text first, then brief notes on choices you made.
- Use headings and bullets only where they help the reader.
- Match the length to the channel (email, report, speech or post).

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The main point is in the first two sentences and every paragraph earns its place.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on deployment frequency and uptime.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.
