Remove retired GOV.UK APIs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Two of the GOV.UK APIs in the catalogue have been retired recently, as per this RFC:

https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-rfcs/blob/main/rfc-159-switch-off-whitehall-apis.md

Much of this information is still available in a more standard form in the Content API, which is already in the catalogue.
