Technical writing portfolio

Every sample here was built by testing a real API hands-on in Postman, documenting genuine edge cases that official documentation doesn't cover.


Samples

Getting started guide

Getting started with the Open Library API

A developer orientation guide covering search, work retrieval, and author lookup, including how the API handles multilingual author names and inconsistent data formats. Documented by testing every endpoint live in Postman.


Tutorial + API reference

Build a command-line search tool with the Europeana API
Europeana Search API quick reference

This is a complete Python tutorial with working, tested code. It covers authentication, search, multilingual data parsing, and reusability filtering. It's paired with a full API reference for the Search endpoint.


Concept doc

Understanding rights and licensing in open data APIs

An explanation of how rights layer across museum and library APIs, and why a single item can carry multiple licenses. Illustrated with an original diagram and backed by live testing of the Europeana and Open Library APIs.
