In the early days of Nitro, the BBC did issue some keys to non-employees. They 
seem not to have expired all of them. :)

How did you manage to get a Nitro API key?

BBC RSS adaptor changes

2017-03-14 Thread Mike Ralphson

Following the BBC's (temporary?) disabling of the /programmes API JSON feed, 
I've moved the BBC-RSS adaptor here (https://bbc-rss.herokuapp.com) to a new, 
but slower, feed (thankfully not having to resort to scraping).

All the links in the available radio and TV columns have changed, but I have 
set up redirects from the old locations. The links in the upcoming column were 
already using the new feed. I suggest you leave existing links pointing to the 
redirects for now in case we switch back.

As I say, the new feed is somewhat slower, so if you are able to control it, I 
would suggest setting the timeout in your RSS reader / fetcher to something in 
the order of 60 seconds. If this poses significant problems going forward I 
will look at adding some cacheing.

Individual PID feeds for brands/series (if anyone was using them) are still 
broken for the moment.

Please let me know of any problems, either here or as an issue on GitHub -

Best, Mike
