   <h2>API Documentation</h2>
   <p>
     The NeoCities API is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer" target="_blank">REST</a> API, which uses query parameters for input, and returns data in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON" target="_blank">JSON</a> format (except for file downloads). It uses client-side <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication" target="_blank">HTTP AUTH</a> to authenticate, using your user/site name and password as the credentials. It is designed to play nicely with the most common HTTP libraries available in programming languages, and can be easily used with <strong>cURL</strong> (a command-line tool for making HTTP requests you can use by opening a terminal on your computer).

     Uploads files to your site. You can upload as many files as you want with a single query, as long as the entire request stays within the disk space limit. The parameter name should be the name of the file, with the extension so we know what kind of file it is (index<strong>.html</strong>).
