Is there any way to get Markdown versions of the documentation?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to get specific parts of the OpenAI API documentation?

My innocent and legitimate reason is that I find reading the entire API docs in one go quite overwhelming and there are two very specific endpoints that I want to familiarize myself with.

Specifically:

  • Vector stores (covered within the new documentation for the Assistants API but not as thoroughly as in the standalone section. URL: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/vector-stores)

  • The basic documentation for working with the Assistants API, which likewise is covered in a good overview document, but I find these specific docs here more useful:

https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/assistants

I’d be really surprised if these weren’t in some library somewhere, so if anyone knows of any links, that might save me the trouble of trying to extract these through other means that would be much appreciated.

That’s true. Instead you should work through it. Which means you read one section, then test it and then go on to the next section. After the next sleep phase your brain will store it automatically and you can even forget how the terminology was - because you simply know how it works.

It is a really good technique which seperates the pros from the terminology memorizers.

The Assistant API is scheduled for deprecation and seems to be discontinued mid 2026.

Instead I suggest to go with this:

or this
