-<h2> Introduction </h2>
-
-<p>This page explains how programmers can make other websites and software
-interact with <%= site_name %> via an "API".
-</p>
-
-<p><%= site_name %> does not have a full API yet, but we are gradually adding
-lots of things that are similar in use to an API as they are requested.
-</p>

-<h2> 1. Linking to new requests </h2>
-
-<p>To encourage your users to make links to a particular public authority, use URLs of the form
-<%= link_to new_request_to_body_url(:url_name => "liverpool_city_council") , new_request_to_body_url(:url_name => "liverpool_city_council") %>. 
-These are the parameters you can add to those URLs, either in the URL or from a form.
-
-<ul>
-    <li> <strong>title</strong> - default summary of the new request.</li>
-    <li> <strong>default_letter</strong> - default text of the body of the letter. The salutation (Dear...) and signoff (Yours...) are wrapped round this. </li>
-    <li> <strong>body</strong> - as an alternative to default_letter, this sets the default entire text of the request, so you can customise the salutation and signoff. </li>
-    <li> <strong>tags</strong> - space separated list of tags, so you can find and link up any requests made later, e.g. <em>openlylocal spending_id:12345</em>. The : indicates it is a machine tag. The values of machine tags may also include colons, useful for URIs.
-</ul>

-<h2> 2. RSS (actually, Atom) feeds </h2>
-
-<p>There are Atom feeds on most pages which list FOI requests, which you can
-use to get updates and links in XML format. Find the URL of the Atom feed in
-one of these ways: 
-<ul>
-    <li>Look for the <img src="/images/feed-16.png" alt=""> RSS feed links.</li>
-    <li>Examine the <tt>&lt;link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml"&gt;</tt> tag in the head of the HTML. </li>
-    <li>Add <tt>/feed</tt> to the start of another URL.
-</ul>
-
-<p>In particular, even complicated search queries have Atom feeds.
-You can do all sorts of things with them, such as query by authority, by file
-type, by date range, or by status. See the <a href="/search">advanced search
-tips</a> for details.

-<h2> 3. JSON structured data </h2>
-
-<p>Quite a few pages have JSON versions, which let you download information about
-objects in a structured form. Find them by:
-<ul>
-    <li>Adding <tt>.json</tt> to the end of the URL. </li>
-    <li>Look for the <tt>&lt;link rel="alternate" type="application/json"&gt;</tt> tag in the head of the HTML. </li>
-</ul>
-</p>
-
-<p>Requests, users and authorities all have JSON versions containing basic
-information about them. Every Atom feed has a JSON equivalent, containing
-information about the list of events in the feed.
-</p>
-
-<hr>
-<h2> 4. Spreadsheet of all authorities </h2>
-
-<p>
-A spreadsheet file listing every body in <%= site_name %> is available:
-<%= link_to "all-authorities.csv", all_public_bodies_csv_url() %>
-</p>
-
-<hr>
-
-<p>Please <a href="/help/contact">contact us</a> if you need an API feature that isn't there yet. It's
-very much a work in progress, and we do add things when people ask us to.</p>
