How to trial ATDW content

Our trial environment is designed to give you authentic insights into our capabilities. By following these steps, you'll experience firsthand how our data can integrate with your existing systems and support your business objectives.

1. Access the Online API Guide

The API Guide is your main resource for seeing how ATDW’s data works. It lists all the available API endpoints and shows you how to make different types of searches.

The API Guide provides:

  • Complete documentation of all search functions

  • Real-time examples you can test immediately

  • Technical specifications for integration planning

2. Enter Your Distributor Key

To start testing, you’ll need your unique distributor key. Your distributor key is the secure credential that connects your trial account to our content database. This unique identifier ensures:

  • Secure access to our data

  • Accurate tracking of your trial usage

  • Personalised testing environment

Where to find your Distributor Key?

Check your trial welcome email or login to our platform and navigate to your account dashboard.

3. Use Example Calls

Within the API guide, you’ll find ‘example calls’ for each search function. These are ready-made sample searches you can run for different categories, locations, or themes. These example calls let you:

  • Test real data: See actual ATDW content in action

  • Explore different search parameters: Understand how our platform responds to various queries

  • Evaluate data quality: Assess whether our content meets your requirements

  • Plan integration: Understand how ATDW data will work within your systems

Simply input your distributor key into the relevant example calls and observe the results. Each search function offers multiple scenarios, allowing you to test everything from broad category searches to specific location-based queries.
