Use the URL Parameters form to select the language and API page according to the type of data you are trying to get.
The Key Parameter
This is the API key, which is unique to each client's API.
The 'demo' API key can be used by anyone to see the structure of the XML and to understand how the API is requested.
NOTE: All content has been intentionally removed from the demo.
If you have an API key you can use it. However, be aware that each API key has a list of allowed IP addresses, supplied by you (or a colleague) to your account manager.
If you receive a "403 Forbidden" error message, it is likley that you have either entered your API key incorrectly, or that the IP address you are using has not been allowed.
NOTE: When using the API Tester in your browser, you will likley be connecting from the IP address of your office or home network. This may be a different IP address to your live/staging/development servers.
The Lang Parameter
This is simply the language in which the API will return the content.
NOTE: If using your own API key you will only be able to access the languages you have contracted to.
NOTE: Not all pages are available in all languages. When this is the case a message will be displayed and the unavailable pages will disabled in the 'page' select list.
The Page Parameter
This select list shows all the available pages grouped by guide type.
There is also 1 system page, the 'manifest', the page will return an XML representation of the pages available for the API key.
The ID Parameter
You may have to enter an ID for certain page types.
Some page types allow an optional page type to be passed. This allows for filtering destinations. For example the page "city-regions" will by default show all the regions that have a city guide for the chosen language. However, it will accept the ID of a continent, in which case it will show only the regions that have a city guide in the chosen langauge and are in the specified continent. Please see the API V1.0 documentation Getting XML Data for more information on which ID values can be passed to each page.
