Problem with 'Ministry of Justice' (https://www.api.gov.uk/moj/).

Hi - I'm a Lead Technical Architect in (a subset of) the MoJ - specifically across Prisons and Probation. I wondered how this page is updated and maintained? We publish our APIs in an automatic catalogue... https://structurizr.com/share/56937/documentation/*

That is public, but contains internal and external APIs. How can we sync the two lists so that you can display the APIs that you're interested in?

Hi Phil, Thanks for getting in touch. At the moment we manually add each API to the catalogue, but we have recently been working on a way to automatically find and add API metadata. If you're interested would you mind emailing api-programme@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk and we can arrange a time to have a quick chat about it?

Many thanks for the reply. I'd be very interested in an automatic approach if feasible as it will have the most chance of staying up-to-date, though I appreciate doing this cross-gov may be a challenge.

We currently publish our APIs in the structurizr catalogue that I linked above, but this is a mixture of both public and private APIs. I'll have an internal discussion first to identify which APIs we actively want to publish on the wider api.gov.uk site, and then get in touch by the email you mention. Many thanks.
