Best hosted api documentation tool?
I'm looking for a tool like gitbook.com to publish API docs. It has to be free or super cheap (<5$/mo) and support custom domain (docs.mysite.com).

Hi guys, I'm very new to API documentation and have been browsing for a few free/freemium ones. For the record I'm a product manager and might not understand all the features mentioned on tools like redocly, postman, gitbook, etc.

This looks perfect for my new project, signing up now, thanks!
Not specific to API docs, but GitBook is pretty slick for publishing docs kept in version control.

It does require a server though. But you can easily set it up for free with a cheap machine on Google Cloud.
I'd be interested to hear other options as well
We run on Slate and host it on Github: https://api.supervisor.reviewshake.com/#introduction. Very simple deploys.
Looks like exactly what i need. Can you tell me how your deployment process is like?
You can read about it here: https://github.com/lord/slate/wiki/Deploying-Slate
Doesn't need to be on a server, it builds a static site. Used it for a previous project. Host on Netlify for free easy hosting as well.
Thank you for clarifying !
What about You Need A Wiki?
Thanks, but doesn't look like it's suited for API docs. It looks more like a more generic solution for general documents sharing.
