Feature
Migration from Version 1 to Version 2 of the API for features has a slightly different workflow.
Previously in Version 1 the following request would be made.
curl http://tv.api.press.net/v1/feature?tag=feature:nowtv-entertainment&start=2018-09-01
This request would provide you with a list of feature items available on that date.

The problem with this is that there was no concept of availability range, so making a request for a monthly feature using a date in the middle of the month would not return you back any results.
In Version 2 we have changed how this works.
A list of available feature types can be found using the Feature Type Collection endpoint.
By selecting the namespace from the features you are interested in you then make a request to the Feature Collection endpoint.
This response provides you with a collection of available features including there date ranges for example, weekly or monthly.
The following example shows what the top level response object looks like.
{
"hasNext": false,
"total": 1,
"item": [
{
"id": "52f983bd-679e-5ba1-8e9e-c28ce51d601f",
"start": "2018-08-31T23:00:00.000Z",
"end": "2018-09-30T22:59:59.999Z",
"type": "monthly-now-tv-entertainment",
"selection": [...]
}
]
}
From this response you have two options either select a feature item from the list you are interested in based on the start and end date and extract the items from the selection array, or call the Feature Detail endpoint with the id of the feature you are interested in to get the single feature item.
The Feature asset item comparison to v1.
