 # LabOne Python API
 
-The `labone` package provides a plain asynchronous Python API for [LabOne](https://www.zhinst.com/labone), the control software of Zurich Instruments.
-
-> [!CAUTION]
-> This API package is solely being developed to support [LabOne Q](https://www.zhinst.com/quantum-computing-systems/labone-q), the software framework for quantum computing.
->
-> For direct access to the instruments without LabOne Q, the standard Python API for all Zurich Instruments' devices is provided through the `zhinst` package and can be obtained from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/zhinst/) by `pip install zhinst`.
->
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Since `labone` is not intended for direct usage, we do not offer any support
-> or external documentation. Please contact [Zurich Instruments](mailto:info@zhinst.com) if you have any questions.
-
-## LabOne compatibility
-The `labone` package is broadly compatible with any LabOne version greater or equal than 23.06. When used with older versions of LabOne, some features may not be available or only partially working.
-
-| `labone` version | Minimum LabOne version | Best with LabOne |
-| ---------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------- |
-| up to 2.3        | 23.06                  | 23.06 or later   |
-| up to 3.1.2      | 23.06                  | 24.10 or later   |
-| from 3.2.0       | 23.06                  | 25.01 or later   |
-
-## Internal Documentation
-
-The internal documentation can be found [here](http://docs.pages.zhinst.com/internal-documentation-hub/async_labone/index.html).
-Due to the early stage there is not public documentation.
-
-## Contributing
+The `labone` package has been removed for the time being. 
+Please refer to [zhinst-toolkit](https://pypi.org/project/zhinst-toolkit/)
+for the latest LabOne Python API.
