Case Study: Clever keeps API docs up to date faster with ReadMe

How ReadMe helps them work with customers to integrate with their product

Clever, an education technology company used by more than half of schools in the US, needed a better way to manage and update its API documentation. Before ReadMe, its docs lived in a three-column GitHub-based system that required pull requests for each update and often took several hours to change, making it hard for the docs to keep pace with the product.

Clever adopted ReadMe to rebuild its developer portal and API documentation with a faster, more maintainable workflow. The new docs matched Clever’s brand, developers responded positively to the API explorer, and Amelie Zeng said changes that once took hours could now be made in minutes; ReadMe’s Swagger/OpenAPI spec importer and command line tool also let Clever push reference page updates in a few seconds.
