Penguin Random House Developer Blog

Up until now, the only version of the Enhanced PRH API that has been exposed to the public is the current production version. The version that is under development on our internal test servers has only been available to folks within the company who have access to that direct endpoint. As we collaborate with different partners to enhance the API and deliver new features, the lack of access to a development build can hamper evaluation of these changes and delay integration work. It also means that we cannot ask our partners to help us regression test and confirm that the latest candidate build works for their purposes.

TST version of the API

I am pleased to announce that we are now able to grant access to internal TST version of the Enhanced PRH API. Once access has been granted, you need only change the host name from api.penguinrandomhouse.com to api-test.penguinrandomhouse.com and use the related test key to access the latest development release. All other aspects of the request (i.e. path, parameters) will remain the same. I've tested this myself with an internal application that uses configuration to drive the host name, using api-test for the development build of the app and api for the production build, and swapping out the keys.

Requesting access

The package that contains this access does not allow for self registration; access to the TST version of the API is granted on a case-by-case basis. If you require access to the development build, please send an e-mail to api@penguinrandomhouse.com.
