How do I get the URLs and the keys I need to access API?

Been poking around the Wiki but can't see it!

Many thanks

Hi Trevor

If you go to the Pub/Sub tab (https://raildata.org.uk/dashboard/dataProduct/P-826477b8-3789-45e7-85bd-22c4ae9bcfae/pubSub), you'll see the details for connecting via Kafka.

Your consumer group, username and password are under 'Access Credentials'.

For the SMART Berth offsets product and others, you can either download the files from the UI by hand, or set up an automatic push to a cloud environment of your choice, or set up RDM to send it to your own SFTP server.

Peter is correct, you will see the credentials under the Pub/sub tab on the data product (as long as you are subscribed).  You may also be able access it in different formats (JSON, AVRO, XML) by clicking on the 'Topic' sub-tab highlighted below.

Cheers

Jez
