feat(WTH-1): pushing my api documentation for the interledger-wallet-…

[mso-docs]

@phyleria, @adebayoileri

Here is my submission for the Write-a-Thon challenge. I chose the Payout to Interledger Wallet Address endpoint for my API documentation.

I have the following files in my forked repo:

1. README: Introduces the endpoint and has a "Getting Started Guide" to familiarize yourself with how it works.
2. Setup: Tells the user how to set up their environment and get API keys to authenticate.
3. Tutorial: Walks the user through using the endpoint.
4. Use Case: Shows a freelancer use case for the endpoint.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or questions for me. Thanks!

Hi @mso-docs,

Thanks for your submission! Everything looks great. We’ll proceed with the review after the submission deadline.

Thanks again!

Thank you! Looking forward to it!

Hi @mso-docs. Great work on this!

This is well-written and well-structured. The only feedback I have is for you to include visual content like screenshots in your tutorial so your readers can follow along better. A good example of a section where you can include this is in the 'Example Postman Request' section. You can include a screenshot of the Postman interface at this stage. Everything else looks good.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi @mso-docs , thank you for putting this guide together! You did a solid job with the structure and formatting. The steps are clear, the code samples are well-organized, and you covered multiple tools, which makes the guide flexible for different types of developers. Great effort!

That said, I think you can make it even stronger with a few improvements:

Structure and Flow
• The step-by-step approach works well, but at times it feels like a checklist. Adding short explanations before or after each step will help readers understand why they’re doing something, not just what to do. For example, after showing how to create the API key, you could explain that this key is required for all future requests.

• The transitions between steps are a little abrupt. A one-sentence bridge like “Now that you’ve installed your tools, let’s test your API key” would make the tutorial flow more smoothly.

Clarity
• You mention that users should expect a 400 error code when testing authentication. That could confuse beginners because most people associate errors with failure. I’d suggest clarifying why this is a good sign and what it means in plain language.

• Some terms, like “environment variables” or “retry logic,” might not be familiar to all readers. A short definition or a link to resources would make the tutorial friendlier to beginners.

Grammar and Style
• Overall, the grammar is solid, but a few sentences are long and could be broken into two for readability. For example, “Recommended for front-end or modern full-stack environments. Works in browsers or with Node.js 18+ using native fetch.” could be joined into one smoother sentence.
• Make sure formatting is consistent, sometimes the code snippets have explanations before, and other times after. Pick one style and stick with it.

Writing Best Practices
• Right now, the guide assumes some prior knowledge. Try reading through it as if you were new to APIs, where would you get stuck? Those are the places that need more explanation.

• You did great including examples in different languages. One improvement would be to briefly explain what each snippet does before pasting the code, so readers aren’t just copying and pasting blindly.

• The “Next Steps” section is helpful, but you could make it more engaging by pointing readers to specific resources or tutorials on Chimoney docs.

Overall, this is a well-structured and useful tutorial. With smoother transitions, clearer explanations for beginners, and a little more consistency in formatting, it would go from good to excellent. Nice work, and thank you for contributing!
