1. Overview - What the API does, who it's for
2. Authentication - How to authenticate (API keys, OAuth, JWT)
3. Base URL - The root endpoint URL
4. Endpoints - Detailed endpoint documentation
5. Request/Response Examples - Real, working examples
6. Error Codes - Complete error reference
7. Rate Limiting - Usage limits and quotas
8. Versioning - API version strategy
9. Changelog - Version history
