Personally, I would love hand crafted awesome documentation and full
versions of the API. From developers, to developers, with care.

As an example, the github api is very good:
https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/ for example.

And for me the gold in api docs is the stripe ones :
https://stripe.com/docs/api/curl#retrieve_customer So useful, calling and
responses examples in several languages, OHH so good.

Such a pleasure to read and use and the confidence that if you are using a
version, it's not going to change under your feet.
