Well, I think it's on tools: http://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/api/...

I think it's just a clone of the project at the toolserver, and the code 
is under version control. It would be nice to have it puppetized, though.

IMHO a hostname like api.wikilovesmonuments.org should have been used, 
for independence from toolserver, tools, wmflabs instances...
