# API Diagrams

Using Eraser you can easily create clear, visually appealing documents for your services and APIs, including:

- System diagrams for the architecture that backs an API
- Sequence diagrams for individual API endpoints, lambdas, or service calls.
- Beautiful technical proposals for building out new APIs and services

Eraser's simple UI, powerful diagramming features, icon library, and easy embeds make it a treat to documents for all your services and APIs. Create one from scratch or use one of our examples.

End-to-end flows API endpoint

Eraser's beautiful sequence diagrams are perfect for explaining the end-to-end flow of a particular API endpoint, cloud function, or service call. This is an excellent way to start designing a new endpoint or API. Use our [diagram-as-code feature](https://docs.eraser.io/docs/sequence-diagrams) to make them in a snap.

## Bootstrap with AI

Eraser's [AI-powered Diagramming](https://docs.eraser.io/docs/ai-diagrams) is perfect for quickly bootstrapping API docs. Copy in existing descriptions to create sequence diagrams, or explain proposed APIs in natural language to create technical proposals.

## GitHub integration

Trying to keep your API and service documentation living next to your code? Want to make it easy to review changes, and ensure your docs are synced with your code? Our [Github integration](/content/github/index.html) makes it easy to create in Eraser and store in git.

## Use Eraser for all of your diagrams and docs

Beyond data flow diagrams, do you need to create other technical docs and diagrams like design docs, RFCs, network diagrams, and API diagrams? Eraser provides a single platform for modern engineering teams to collaborate on docs and diagrams.

## Feedback

"What I love most is its Markdown note-taking feature, which allows you to include snapshots of diagrams directly in the canvas. Clicking on these snapshots takes you straight to the relevant diagram section." - **Dennis Dao, Distinguished Software Architect, MISSION+**

"As a proof of concept, using Eraser I manually built out a VMWare validated design which is a fairly complex conceptual design for NSX-T Network Virtualization in an enterprise environment. I put this whole thing together in under an hour. Pretty wild." - **Alex Kenley, Technical Director, Mott Mac**
