My last post about Hack4Culture was prompted by this email I received today from Rohan Gunatillake from Edinburgh Festivals Lab. If anyone is interested in getting involved in the kind of Hacking Culture then let me know as we could build it into the programme for the Hub Space event (funding permitting) as part of Open Source City.

This is just a quick note to let you know that the Edinburgh Festivals Listings API initiative is live for 2012.
Please note the following things that you probably want to know:
- full information at www.festivalslab.com
- 2012 festivals data currently live include listings from Edinburgh International Film Festival, Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- data to be added soon from the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Edinburgh Art Festival, Edinburgh Mela and the Edinburgh International Book Festival
- Process is as last year, with registration giving access to full listings apart from the Fringe
- API has dummy Fringe listings and to receive access to fill Fringe listings please email api@festivalslab.com with an outline of what you intend to use it for and they will advise steps required for access
- Last year’s API tokens/keys still apply
- If you have misplaced that information please just re-register using a different email address
- If you received approval to Fringe data in 2011 and want to revise your app/project for 2012 please still email api@festivalslab.com
- If you have any questions about the schema or the API usage itself, please email Joe on technical@festivalslab.com
