-## Dry run via API call
-
-Dry run can be performed using the dry-run API, which allows the dry run to be completed in code.
-This [command line script](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/contrib/scaffolder/template-testing-dry-run.md) offers a way for you to do work with dry-run API. You run it against a running instance, either locally or remote, and use it like:
-
-```bash
-scaffolder-dry http://localhost:7007/ template-directory values.yml output-directory
-```
-
-If you're using backend permissions, pass a front-end auth token from a current browser session via --token $FRONTEND_TOKEN.
-
-You can also query the dry run endpoint directly in code, for example:
-
-```javascript title="dry-run.js"
-const template = yaml.load(
-  await fs.readFile('path/to/templates/template.yaml', 'utf-8'),
-);
-const values = JSON.parse(
-  await fs.readFile('path/to/templates/template_values.json', 'utf-8'),
-);
-
-// Prepare the request body
-const body = {
-  template,
-  values,
-  directoryContents,
-};
-
-// Send the request to the dry-run endpoint
-const response = await fetch(
-  'http://localhost:7000/api/scaffolder/v2/dry-run',
-  {
-    method: 'POST',
-    headers: {
-      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
-      Authorization: 'Bearer <FRONT_END_TOKEN>', // replace 'FRONT_END_TOKEN' with your actual front-end auth token
-    },
-    body: JSON.stringify(body),
-  },
-);
-```
-
-`template_values.json`
-
-```json
-{
-  "example": "test",
-  "name": "helloworld"
-}
-```
-
-In this example `template.yaml` is your template yaml file, `template_values.json` would be a json file containing key value pairs for your template inputs, and `directoryContents` is an array that is populated with objects representing the contents of a specified directory (e.g. the same directory where you have your template yaml). Each object in the array corresponds to a file within the directory and contains two properties; the name of the file and the content of the file, encoded in Base64.
-This is needed if any other files were required by the actions your template is using.
