About the Developer Portal
The Viam Documentation Developer Portal provides documentation and tutorials to help you build and program smart machines. The page is open-source and uses the docs as code approach to make it easy for our technical writers to write the docs but also for our community to contribute.
Why They Stand Out
Best Reference Documentation Beyond REST APIs
Viam's gRPC APIs are organized by functionality, for example there is an API for motors, and one for using motion planning. For each API, there are code snippets and linked tutorials that show you exactly how to code your robots. If you have a question, there is an AI chatbot to help and if that isn't enough, you can also connect with a person or with our community.
Best Onboarding Experience in a Developer Portal
The onboarding experience provides a guided approach towards getting to know the platform, starting with a brief introduction of the concepts and then guiding the reader through a series of short quickstarts, designed to familiarize the reader with the platform.
