API Documentation

Behind the APIs/Explore tab

For each API on sale on the website, you'llfind:

• A overview of the dataset underlyingthe API

• Description and documentation oneach of the API methods

• An access to the Sandbox APIs to testthe Pearson APIs using your freesandbox key.

The sandbox APIs available in the testareas in APIs are the same as the fullproduction APIs, but the underlying datais only a subset of the full productiondata.For example, the sandbox LongmanDictionary API displays letters A to C,but the full production LongmanDictionary API goes to letter Z

• A Report a Bug function (we knowwe’re not perfect)

Using the API Explorer

Calling an API using jQuery

var apiKey = '27***************************73';var searchUrl= 'https://api.pearson.com/longman/dictionary/0.1/entry.json’;

function doSearch(searchFor){var data = 'apikey=' + apiKey + '&q=' + searchFor$.ajax({

type: 'GET', url: searchUrl, data: data, dataType: 'jsonp', jsonp: 'jsonp', success: function(data){

handleResponse(data);},error: function(req, err, text ) {

debugLog.append('Error: ' + status + '(' + text +')<br/>');}

});}

Don’t leave your keys under the flowerpot !

• Keys are valuable• They provide access to a service• They are monitored and rate limited

• If someone gets hold of your key• You may find they use up your quota• They may use it inappropriately

• Keep them safe, don’t put them in/on the client• Adopt a proxy approach• Best practice anyway (potential caching advantage)
