Adding to a 7Digital basket (without premium API)

[Gary Chisholm]

Problem:

I'm trying to convert a stack of ISRC codes into a populated basket for purchases to be made directly on the 7Digital site without need for a premium API.

Current (bad) solution:

So far my best solution is to compile a page of links to the 7Digital page and have the user manually add them to the basket one at a time (sadly this is tiresome and not ideal when there are hundreds of tracks) - I've even tried the "unsupported" ?addtobasket=true but this now seems to be "officially" unsupported.

I've read https://groups.google.com/d/msg/7digital-api/_rM0RbpSWas/VvWcmMzZnSAJ but as it was dated about three years ago I thought I'd start a new post rather than resurrect - any news on "in the future we plan on adding the functionality that will allow you to checkout a pre-populated basket via the 7digital.com site"

Question:

Is there a way to take a track search result and have it add to a 7Digital basket or someway of sending off a stack of ISRC codes - i.e. in CSV format e.g. USPR37300012, USPR34304014, USPR37100013 - add having them added to a basket.

Thanks:

I guess I am trying to hack the system a little by avoiding the premium API but this is for a personal pet-project.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, guidance or support,

Gary

Hi Gary,

as it happens the plans to provide a way for baskets pre-populated via our public API to be checked-out on 7digital.com website have never materialized and this currently isn't on our roadmap for the near future.

But we're working on new functionality which will allow you to provide music purchasing on your website with smoother user experience than having to link out to 7digital.com website to complete the purchase and download (and without requiring Premium API access). 

If you'd like to find out more please reply to me directly and we might be able to give you early access before it's officially launched.

Thanks

Filip
