The API doc is generated via slate and hosted on github pages. To make a change and update the doc follow the steps:

1. `git checkout slate-doc`
2. Install your local dependencies for slate, more info [here](https://github.com/lord/slate#getting-started-with-slate)
3. Edit `source/index.html.md` and save your changes.
4. Commit all the changes to git, before deploying the repo should be clean.
5. Push your commit to remote.
6. Run `./deploy.sh`
7. Wait a few minutes and the doc should be updated at [https://acinq.github.io/eclair](https://acinq.github.io/eclair)
