+
+## Rendering the documentation content
+
+### `docs.json`
+
+Defines the navigational structure of the docs. The "API" section determines the sidebar navigation structure of the API reference. Each path points to an MDX page in `/api-reference`.
+
+### `api-reference/{category}/\*.mdx`
+
+Each page has an `openapi` attribute that points to an endpoint listed in `api-reference/openapi.json`. Mintlify auto-generates the documentation based on this information.
+
+### `api-reference/openapi.json`
+
+Contains a copy of the OpenAPI spec that all our API reference pages pull from. It's automatically updated every 48 hours by our [Github Actions](https://github.com/checkly/docs/actions/workflows/update-api-spec.yml) workflow.
+
+## Updating `api-reference/openapi.json` via Github Actions
+
+Checkly's public OpenAPI spec can be found here: https://api.checklyhq.com/openapi.json. We have a copy saved to `api-reference/openapi.json` that we update every 48 hours. This copy is formatted to play nicely with how Mintlify renders pages, and all our API reference pages use this file to auto-generate the API reference documentation.
+
+* `.github/workflows/update-api-spec.yml` runs the update script (`update-api-spec.sh`) every 48 hours and commits the changes to `main`. [View all recent runs.](https://github.com/checkly/docs/actions/workflows/update-api-spec.yml)
+
+* The update script (`update-api-spec.sh`) pulls the most recent OpenAPI spec, cleans it up for use with Mintlify, and applies those edits to `api-reference/openapi.json`.
+
+## Adding new endpoints
+
+If you need to add an endpoint to an API reference:
+
+1. Create the sidebar navigation item in `docs.json`
+2. Create a new file in `api-reference/{category}/\*.mdx`. That file should have an `openapi` attribute that references the corresponding endpoint. You can also define a custom title, if the OpenAPI spec doesn't have a nice one. For example:
+```md
+---
+openapi: get /v1/analytics/api-checks/{id}
+title: API checks
+---
+```
+
+If you need to update your local copy of the OpenAPI spec, run `./update-api-spec.sh`
+
+That's it! Your new endpoint should be showing properly now.

+title: 'Using the Checkly API'
+sidebarTitle: 'Overview'
+---
+
+The Checkly API enables you to manage your monitoring infrastructure, retrieve account information, and export analytics using HTTP requests.
+
+<Note>
+  For creating and updating resources, we recommend using the [Checkly CLI](/cli/overview) or another [Monitoring as Code](/learn/monitoring/monitoring-as-code/) option. Managing resources using the Checkly API is possible, but Monitoring as Code generally provides a better experience for this.
+</Note>
+
+## Authentication
+
+The Checkly Public API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can get a API Key in your [user settings](https://app.checklyhq.com/settings/user/api-keys).
+
+Your API key is like a password: keep it secure!
+
+Authentication to the API is performed using the Bearer auth method in the Authorization header and using the Account ID.
+
+For example, set the `Authorization` and `X-Checkly-Account` headers when using cURL:
+
+```bash Bash icon="square-terminal"
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer [apiKey]" -H "X-Checkly-Account: [accountId]"
+```
+
+[More information about managing API keys](/admin/creating-api-key), including service API keys.
+
+## Rate Limits
+
+The Checkly Public API uses rate limits to help manage the sheer volume of requests we receive. The rate limit is characterized by allowing a maximum number of requests within a time interval.
+
+For most of our routes, that limit is **600 requests every 60 seconds**.
+
+However, we also have **routes with custom rate limits**. If the endpoint you are using has a custom rate limit, you will find that information in the documentation of that route.
