Whitehall is primarily a publishing application but it also provides an API used by some applications. This API is public and is served under https://www.gov.uk/api/.
Whitehall is not the only application to provide APIs under this path. For example, /api/content is served by Content API and /api/search.json is served by Search API (previously known as Rummager). This Nginx file configures this behaviour.
The organisations API is now hosted by Collections.
