-### Documentation
-
-This directory contains the scripts required to generate the APIDoc based documentation.
-You can find the docs about comment structure at the [APIDocs page](https://apidocjs.com/).
-
-In general most API endpoints will look like:
-```js
-  /**
-   * @api {post} /api/:param/url Give it a name 
-   * @apiName Give it a name
-   * @apiGroup group
-   * @apiPermission permission
-   * @apiDescription Describe what the endpoint does, any special cases the user
-   * should be aware of.
-   *
-   * @apiParam {string} param describe a URL parameter.
-   *
-   * @apiParam (Body) input describe a field on the body.
-   *
-   * @apiSuccess {object} output describe the output.
-   */
-```
-
-There are a few key points to note when writing API docs:
-1. Don't use `@apiBody` - this isn't currently supported by our swagger converter.
-2. Make sure to always have an `@api` definition at the start, which must always have the
-HTTP verb, the endpoint URL and the name.
-3. There are three ways you can specify parameters used as inputs for your endpoint,
-`@apiParam` for a URL param, `@apiParam (Body)` for a field on the request body and `@apiParam (Query)`
-for query string parameters.
-4. The `@apiGroup` should be the same for all API Doc comments in a route file.
