# Automated API documentation generation for Laravel with static code analysis using Scramble

**[Laravel News](https://daily.dev/sources/ln)** · 7 min read · 42 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Maintaining API documentation in Laravel can be time-consuming and error-prone when done manually with PHPDoc annotations or OpenAPI spec files. Instead, Scramble offers a streamlined solution using static code analysis, ensuring documentation remains accurate and up-to-date with code changes. Scramble automatically documents request parameters, successful and error responses, and keeps everything in sync, alleviating the effort required by developers.
