Similar to the update that was made at the end of the previous year for http api we are now password protecting the xml api. These are the scripts that will need your secure password added:

• template updates:http://www.templatemonster.com/webapi/t … pdates.php
• template info for particular template: http://www.templatemonster.com/webapi/template_xml.php

Where to create the password:

https://secure.mytemplatestorage.com/pe … webapi.php

How to use the password.
Just add your secure password (secure line of code) as on the samples below:

• http://www.templatemonster.com/webapi/template_updates.php?from=…&to=…&secure_line_goes_here
  
• http://www.templatemonster.com/webapi/template_xml.php?template_number=…&secure_line_goes_here

Starting February 16th you will be able to access the scripts both with the password and without. On March 9th all the scripts will be password protected.

We are adding password protection for API scripts. The reason- lots of unauthorized access attempts.

How it will work now.
On October 27th you will find a new section in Affiliate Tools called Display templates using WebAPI . Now in order to use the scripts described here you have to generate your own secure code. It’s generated simply by clicking on the generate button on the ‘Display templates using WebAPI’ page. The secure line of parameters that will be generated is unique for every affiliate and grants you access to the scripts.

Add this line to the end of your request when accessing TemplateMonster catalog via HTTP:http://www.templatemonster.com/webapi/templates_screenshots4.php?delim=|&from=12&to=30&
keyword=hosting&sort_by=price&currency=EUR&Your_line_goes_here

You don’t have to add your secure code to the end of request in case you are using XML API.

During the period from October 27th till November 24th you will be able to access the script both with and without your secure code. Those affiliates who won’t generate the code till November 24th won’t have access to the scripts accordingly.

The t_info.xml has been slightly modified. Now every <template> block starts from the new line, this shouldn’t influence the parsing though.
