I have migrated/copied 11 api-documentation pages into mpc-public/docs-public/docs/mpc-ops-docs/apis

The pages are all currently located in mpc-software/mpc-django.
They are linked from here: https://minorplanetcenter.net/mpcops/documentation/#apis
An example current page is https://minorplanetcenter.net/mpcops/documentation/wamo-api/

The replacements are in the mpc-public repo.
They are now linked from mpc-public/docs-public/docs/apis/index.md
An example of the replacement page is mpc-public/docs-public/docs/apis/wamo-api.md

Note that I used claude-code to do the migration/coping, so the content is NOT verbatim.

  • I read through all 11 pages to try to ensure that the important information was still preserved.
  • In ~3 out of 11 pages I noticed significant omissions, so re-inserted that data by hand.
    - I believe it would be a good idea for the reviewer to repeat this scrutiny.

As per PR's #21 & #22 and the README.md, to examine locally in a browser:

matthewjohnpayne and others added 5 commits February 5, 2026 09:41
- Add 11 API documentation markdown files in apis/ subdirectory
- Convert HTML templates from mpc-django to markdown format
- APIs covered: WAMO, Submission Status, Designation Identifier,
  Observations, NEOCP Observations, CND, Orbits, Observatory Codes,
  MPECs, Action Codes, and List API
- Use apis/index.md structure for cleaner URLs
- Update mpc-ops-docs/index.md to link to new location
- Links now point to local docs instead of minorplanetcenter.net
