Programming docs are usually considered EXTREMELY proprietary. I'd simply
provide them a list of titles of API docs you've done, with a high level
summary, and a disclaimer that the actual documentation you produced is
proprietary to the company that employed you, and can only be shown upon
signing a non-disclosure agreement with that company. I'd think that a
nice paragraph of legalese to that effect would stop them. Also, the fact
that you've done API docs should figure prominently in your resume.
