Description

docs.github.com now has an API available to get Markdown versions of every page of the site, example:

https://docs.github.com/api/article/body?pathname=/en/rest/activity/events&apiVersion=2026-03-10

You can also do `.md` extension or request with content-type header to get the markdown version instead.

Not sure if anything is still depending on this repo but we would prefer folks use the API if possible.

The issue names no repository files or tests; begin by checking whether this repository still has users or documented entry points, then compare its purpose with the docs.github.com Markdown API endpoint shown. Done is not defined, so an agreed migration or archival outcome is needed before a newcomer can implement it.
