Great work on publishing this SKOS thesaurus!

It reminded me to check out the NYT API, but unfortunately it seems
that the login for requesting the API key is broken and there's no
contact listed. Who would I talk to about getting this fixed or
manually requesting an API key?

Thanks,
Pius

It's up for me in FF on OS X. What browser/OS are you using?

Both Safari and FF OS X.  In the right hand corner it displays my e-mail address, so I know I'm logged in, but when I click "request an API key" it tells me I'm not and then bounces me.

We've had some other reports of a similar bug. We're looking into it.

Meanwhile, can you try to post a test message to the Times Developer
Network forum (just to make sure you're fully logged in)? Also, does
your NYTimes.com user name contain any punctuation?

Thanks!

Hi Marci,

I'm definitely not logged into the developer portion, though I *am* fully logged into the regular site.  No matter what I do, the token won't seem to carry over.  The name contains a period (pius.ny).

For what it's worth, the site works properly for me when I register a brand new username (in my case, "apiusage").

Thanks for getting back to me!

Best,
Pius

Hi Pius -- We're not quite sure why yet, but the period in your user
name might be causing the problem. I hope you'll be able to work with
the new user name for now, until we get this figured out.

Thanks!
Marci
