Any way to expose the Jabber/twitter data for users/dj's? Or the description for shows? - Airtime Hacks Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

I'm looking for ways, if possible, to expose more fields in the JSON export of the weekly schedule. In particular

1) Is there some way to get the description for a show into the JSON export of the weekly schedule?

2) Is there some way to get the DJ info, i.e their jabber, twitter, etc info (which appears to be in their user profiles), exposed anywhere else, like in the JSON export of their show?

Hi muhoo, John Chewter has a modification to put show descriptions in the API data, see http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CC-5461

In general, anything that is in the database can be exposed via the API by modifying the file ApiController.php, for example in the 2.5.x branch this file is:

https://github.com/sourcefabric/Airtime/blob/2.5.x/airtime_mvc/application/controllers/ApiController.php

For details of how to use the API, see:

http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/airtime-api-authentication/

You'll notice that by default, live-info and week-info requests do not require authentication. If you are serving DJ's personal information via these requests, you possibly might want to change to authenticated requests as an anti-spam measure.

For security reasons, we don't currently recommend allowing authenticated API requests over public networks unless you are using https. There is an example of how to set that up with Apache in the chapter:

Cheers!
