 A REST API (built with ``djangorestframework``) is available in order to list, create, update and delete tickets from
 other tools thanks to HTTP requests.
 
-If you wish to use it, you have to add this line in your settings::
-
-    HELPDESK_ACTIVATE_API_ENDPOINT = True
-
 You must be authenticated to access the API, the URL endpoint is ``/api/tickets/``.
 You can configure how you wish to authenticate to the API by customizing the ``DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES`` key
 in the ``REST_FRAMEWORK`` setting (more information on this page : https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/)
