Create and Manage your Atlas API key - Introducing Atlas Admin
cle...@metabroadcast.com
Until today, requesting an API key involved contacting us, which wasn't an instant process, especially on weekends. We have created a new Admin Interface for you to generate, use and manage an API key for Atlas. We already mentioned that it enables you to decide the sources you want to include in your data and to prioritise them if you want to merge together data from different sources.
Creating an account on Atlas Admin is easy:
- Visit http://atlas.metabroadcast.com/ and click on "get your free API key"
- Sign in using either your Twitter, Github or Google account
- Read and accept our terms and conditions
- Save your personal details (in case we need to contact you)
Once you have created your Atlas Admin account, getting an API key and the UK schedule data is really easy:
- In the "Applications" menu, click on the "Create Application" button, enter the name of your application and click "Create application"
- Request access to "UK Channel lineups", "PA", and, if you'd like access to iPlayer links, “BBC"
- Enable matching
- Don't forget to click on "Save" and to take note of your API key
You can now make simple calls to Atlas and you can make your own customised calls using Atlas' documentation (https://docs.metabroadcast.com/display/ATLAS/Documentation).
We'd be grateful to you if you could help us get the word out. For example, do you have write access to pages like this one: http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/Britain_and_Ireland
If so, please add this text (or similar):
