Developers: Why You Should Snapshot API Docs You Depend On
API documentation is versioned in theory and edited in practice. When integration breaks, you need what the page said when you shipped.
When to clip
- Auth flows and rate limit pages before major releases
- Deprecation notices and migration guides
- Error code tables you embed in runbooks
Why git alone is not enough
You rarely commit vendor HTML to your repo. A personal archive fills the gap without polluting source control.

Clip full pages + screenshots, search across past doc captures, and use folders per vendor or service.
