Provider migration

Migrate from ReadMe to Sourced

ReadMe is familiar for docs previews. Sourced is for teams that want docs, SDKs, examples, and release checks managed from the same OpenAPI source. On this page: what to scan in your ReadMe setup, the migration checks Sourced runs, and a preview of the generated SDK and docs you would get.

Unlimited previews. No credit card required.

What to check

01

Interactive API reference settings need to map cleanly to OpenAPI.

02

Recipes, changelog, and guides need URL-safe redirects.

03

Private docs and auth settings need a new access model.

04

API logs and docs analytics do not replace SDK release checks.

Migration checklist

01

Export your ReadMe API definition (OAS YAML) and the rendered Guides/Recipes content.

02

List every recipe URL (/recipes/{slug}) and changelog post — these become Sourced Markdown pages that need explicit redirects.

03

Audit ReadMe's Try It panel customisations — Sourced's generated reference uses the spec examples, so spec coverage drives the output.

04

Identify private/group-gated pages — Sourced's auth model is Clerk-based; map group → org membership.

05

Plan an API Metrics replacement: ReadMe's developer analytics do not move; pick whether to backfill into Mixpanel/Posthog or retire.

Why Sourced fits

01

SDKs ship from the same OpenAPI source as the docs reference — no second tool for client packages.

02

Compatibility report flags breaking-change drift between releases before customers see it.

03

Docs previews include llms.txt and operation-level summaries for agent readers.

04

Honest trade-off: ReadMe's API Metrics + Developer Dashboards are genuinely better than Sourced's analytics today. If customer-facing API usage analytics are a deal-breaker, ReadMe stays the better pick.
