Sphinx AutoAPI is a Sphinx extension that automatically generates API documentation by statically analyzing Python source code using the astroid library, without importing or executing the documented code. It reads Python files and .pyi stubs, builds an internal object model (modules, classes, functions, etc.), applies configurable filtering options (e.g., private members, inherited members), and renders the documentation as RST via Jinja templates. The extension also provides autodoc-style directives (e.g., autoapifunction, autoapimethod) that allow manual documentation entries backed by the same static analysis, and supports inheritance diagrams, type annotation rendering, PEP-695 type parameters, overloaded signatures, and integration with Sphinx's viewcode. Its architecture separates parsing (astroid-based), mapping (object creation and option evaluation), and output (template rendering), making the core logic reusable in other static analysis tools.
