publications#show doesn't support JSON

Hi James,

If it helps, there's an (unsupported) API; here it is for your example:

https://www.gov.uk/api/government/publications/msn-1853-m-boatmasters-qualifications-crew-and-hours-of-work.json

However this only contains some metadata, not the publication content.

Oh weird. I didn't know you still had the routes where the path starts with /api/

We've ended up using the Atom feed, as that does include the content (which is the key stuff we need). It would still be good to add JSON feeds for content though.

@billinghamj We have those, looking like this: https://www.gov.uk/api/content/government/publications/msn-1853-m-boatmasters-qualifications-crew-and-hours-of-work

Also unsupported, currently.

@elliotcm Doesn't include the publication content though - which is the key thing. Currently the only way to get content is to use a slow & primitive ATOM/RSS feed.

Or to scrape the HTML of course.

Ah yes, that part of the site hasn't been fully migrated over to that API yet. It will fill out eventually.
