Whups, yeh looks like the API is fine.

[backstage] World Serivce Newsletter
In case any of those responsible are paying attention... The new version just plopped into my inbox. Nice and slick, very well done, a great improvement over the previous version. The addition of the audio previews and things like Meet The Presenter are a nice touch, bringing it above just being a detailed list of programs and subjects for the week. Incidentally, there's a bit of a problem on the four Program Listing pages. The text is running over onto the 'More programme info' image in Firefox 2 and Opera 9. IE6 is fine. Hardly a critical issue, but it seems worth pointing out. Great work, really looking forward to future issues. -- Cheers, Keith Living under the Jackboot Australia is merely an island of Antarctica, and of no further significance - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] World Service Schedules
g'day Andrew, Yeh, I ran across that when I was looking at the links Matthew sent. It's almost what I want with the exceptions that it carries all the channels when I only need the World Service and it doesn't have a facility for changing the time zone. I could get what I want by making my own modification of it, but 'd rather take a stab at writing my own first, just for the fun of it. If that fails 'll just modify the existing one. Thanks though.

The BBC Web API - http://www0.rdthdo.bbc.co.uk/services/api/ - should prove very useful to you, the links you want are probably something like: http://www0.rdthdo.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/api/query.pl?method=bbc.channel.getLocationschannel_id=BBCWrldformat=simple http://www0.rdthdo.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/api/query.pl?method=bbc.channel.getInfochannel_id=BBCWrldformat=simple http://www0.rdthdo.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/api/query.pl?method=bbc.schedule.getProgrammeschannel_id=BBCWrldlimit=2detail=schedule (the last giving you the schedule, I'm not sure how far in advance) Hope that's helpful. :) -- ATB,| http://www.dracos.co.uk/ | http://www.bbc.co.uk/homearchive/ Matthew | http://www.traintimes.org.uk/map/ Hi Keith, you may also be interested in my "what's on now/next" modules at http://bbcmodules.co.uk. They're based on the Web API mentioned by Matthew. The modules don't show anything beyond now/next though, so won't show you what's on later today.. BTW, Matthew's example of the API schedule call above, without the "limit" parameter, will show you the schedule for the current day (i.e. up to midnight today GMT): http://www0.rdthdo.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/api/query.pl?method=bbc.schedule.getProgrammeschannel_id=BBCWrlddetail=schedule Cheers, Mario. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] World Service Schedules
g'day all, Have been lurking on the list for several months. I'm something of a World Service addict and often, almost daily, check out the schedule (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/internet/wsradio_weekly.shtml). I'm in Australia, so I first have to convert the time to GMT and then work out what's going to be on. It's not a major pain, but 'd like to build something that could tell me what's on in the next few hours and/or convert the times to my time zone. It'd be web-based, at least initially. The problem 've run into is that WS schedules don't seem to provide a feed of any sort. Does anyone have any ideas of how I could get around this? -- Cheers, Keith Living under the Jackboot Australia is merely an island of Antarctica, and of no further significance - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
