Open-source projects often have only incomplete and insufficient API documentations. To improve the efficiency of development and ensure the correctness of API usage, it is desired that the developers can be supported with automatically gener- ated documentation based on a combination of knowledge from different sources. In this paper, we describe OpenAPIDocGen, a system that can automatically generate API Documentations for open-source projects, including an overview of the system and the data sources and techniques used to generate different parts of the documentation.
