Here's quick roundup of some of our newest features!
User Connect
Get your users (and their API keys!) into ReadMe! Now with just minimal setup, you can bring your users into ReadMe and include their unique information directly in the documentation! By telling us a little bit about them when they log in, you can embed their information directly into pages, and the API Explorer.
If you have OAuth2 set up already, we have a connector for it. Otherwise, it's easy to generate JWT tokens that magically log your users in. (Read our full announcement)
How to use it: It's in your account, under User Connect.
Combined Projects beta
Sometimes, your project is more complex than just one "developer hub", and you want to combine multiple projects into one. Your users will be able to switch between projects, search across all combined projects, and share content.
How to use it: Request a demo on our Enterprise page
Glossary
Sometimes you want to call out specific words or phrases, and give people more information about them in a popup.
How to use it: It's in your account, under General Settings > Glossary
Health Check
When their integration breaks, the first thing your users will do is go to their docs! Our new Health Check feature will allow you to alert you users to issues with your API. It can be integrated with StatusPage, so you just have to update the status in one place.

Metrics beta
Who's using your API docs, and how are they using it? We've been building out a robust metrics system, so you can see things like who finds your pages useful, what they're visiting, what companies they're coming from, and more.
How to use it: It's currently in beta, however you can request a demo
Command line tool (rdme)
If you want to integrate Swagger / OpenAPI uploads directly into your build process, you can use our rdme command line tool. We just rebuilt it, so it's easy to upload your Swagger file directly to ReadMe.
To install, type npm i rdme -g. To upload a file, run rdme swagger {path-to-swagger.json} --token={api-key}.
How to use it: Go into Reference Docs > Add another API, and choose Swagger
API beta
We're an API company… it's about time we had an API! Right now, we have one public endpoint, which lets you upload a Swagger file programatically. We use it ourselves for the rdme command line tool.
We're beta-testing the ability to create or update documentation. So, you'll be able to automate content on a page, or do stuff like sync everything from GitHub.
How to use it: For the Swagger upload, go to General Settings > API Key. For editing pages, you can request a demo
Translations beta
Avoir une audience mondiale? We now have deep integrations with some third-party services (Localize and Transifex) that let you translate content. Don't limit your docs just to developers who know English!
How to use it: It's currently in beta, however you can request a demo
