Zudoku

Zudoku is an open-source, developer-first platform for creating clean, consistent API documentation built on a modern stack including React, TypeScript, and Vite. The tool enables developers to auto-generate documentation from OpenAPI v2/v3 schemas (supporting both single and multi-API setups) and provides built-in authentication and authorization support for OAuth2, JWT, and more.

Zudoku publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Configuration API, API References API, Authentication API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Developer Tools and Documentation.

The Zudoku catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Zudoku’s developer surface includes documentation, authentication, API reference, and 8 more developer resources.

scored 2026-10-04 · rubric v0.23.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/zudoku: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
