Unlike our API, theirs does not export symbol names, but instead uses __makeindex and __index metamethods to provide the functions and variables, so I don't see a way to actually make an APIDump. And anyway they already do have the dumps in their docs, but that's all they've got - list of objects, functions and variables, but almost no documentation on what the objects do, what the functions do, what exact effects one should expect. And the object hierarchy is not explained at all.
For example, they have a game.surfaces object which says "is a dictionary of string -> Surface objects of all game surfaces". But there's no explanation of what a surface is and what surfaces the game creates - you need to read another mod's source to find out that the loot entities are in the "nauvis" surface (wtf?).
