This API was written by members of the Navigation Research team in the BBC's Technology Group. Historically the team has done alot of work on programme metadata and especially on implementing the TV-Anytime standard. The aim of this project is to take this work to the next stage by making the data easy to access and use.

The API is in development and as such we would love to hear from you. If you have spotted a bug (heaven forbid) or would like us to add a new feature please let us know. You can do so through the BBC Backstage discussion list which gives you access to the backstage community.
