Sources

The Sources endpoint is designed to retrieve Gracenote information for programming services, identified by Gracenote programming service ID (prgSvcId). The Sources schema provides station information, including:

  • prgSvcId, for linking to Schedules API
  • Station name and location
  • callSign
  • Broadcast languages
  • HD/SD attributes
  • Affiliations to broadcast and cable networks
  • Nielsen DMA designations (USA)
  • Station logos

All sources are marked with a unique updateId, denoting current information for the programming service. Changes to any source data will result in assignment of a new updateId, which allows you to pull deltas since last retrieval of source information. Scope of stations can be requested by particular country, lineup, custom station list, or a combination of criteria dependent on customer need. For example, you can request all active stations in USA and Mexico for your feed, and receive deltas for only those stations.
