+##### Building API Documentation
+
+AWX includes support for building [Swagger/OpenAPI
+documentation](https://swagger.io).  To build the documentation locally, run:
+
+```bash
+(container)/awx_devel$ make swagger
+```
+
+This will write a file named `swagger.json` that contains the API specification
+in OpenAPI format.  A variety of online tools are available for translating
+this data into more consumable formats (such as HTML). http://editor.swagger.io
+is an example of one such service.
+
 ### Accessing the AWX web interface 
 
 You can now log into the AWX web interface at [https://localhost:8043](https://localhost:8043), and access the API directly at [https://localhost:8043/api/](https://localhost:8043/api/).
