Getting started


Pre-release Preview Note
This is an early access release of the FYI Data API 0.5.3 (beta). It is being made available for developers and organizations for evaluation, development and testing purposes.

FYI Television may change the content, structure and delivery of the API significantly prior to its official release.

You may not publicly distribute or ship any application using this Pre-release Preview, as this version will no longer be supported after the official version is released (which will cause applications based only on the pre-release preview to break).
