+API
+---
+
+It is also possible to use *doc8* programmatically. To call *doc8* from a
+Python project, use::
+
+    from doc8 import doc8
+
+    result = doc8(allow_long_titles=True, max_line_length=99)
+
+The returned ``result`` will have the following attributes and methods:
+
+* ``result.files_selected`` - number of files selected
+* ``result.files_ignored`` - number of files ignored
+* ``result.error_counts`` - ``dict`` of ``{check_name: error_count}``
+* ``result.total_errors`` - total number of errors found
+* ``result.errors`` - list of
+  ``(check_name, filename, line_num, code, message)`` tuples
+* ``result.report()`` - returns a human-readable report as a string
+
+The ``doc8`` method accepts the same arguments as the executable. Simply
+replace hyphens with underscores.
+
+**Note:** Calling ``doc8`` in this way will not write to stdout, so the
+``quiet`` and ``verbose`` options are ignored.
