API Guide
On the RenderThumbs Explorer page, change the RequestType back to JPEG and click Apply and test with
parameters . You will see the image for the current selection (FIG. 4).
To provide navigation down through the folders, change the value of the StartingID parameter to the ID of the
thumbnail, and resubmit the two calls sequentially when a user clicks on a thumbnail.
At this point, it is worth considering the pages value of the parent entry node. When you request the XML (or
JSON) version, the data contains the values for every thumbnail in that category. However, when you request
the JPEG image, the image only contains the number of columns and rows defined by the selected template. If
the number of thumbs displayed is less than the number that exists in the category, you must provide the user
with a means to navigate to the previous and next pages. To obtain a new page, simply change the
PageNumber parameter and resubmit the request for the JPEG.
When thumbnail entry type is 'programme' rather than 'category', then both the XML and JPEG returned are
different. The XML returned will contain the metadata for the video and the JPEG will be formatted to provide
a background on which to display the metadata.
For example the XML will look similar to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<v2><result>OK</result>

&lt;p class='v2InfoSection'&gt;Naughty Girl is an R&amp;amp;Bdisco song written
by Beyoncé Knowles, Scott Storch, Robert Waller, and Angela Beyinc for Beyonc's
debut solo album, Dangerously in Love (2003). Produced by Beyoncé and Storch, the
song lives up to the Western sound of its predecessor "Baby Boy". Along with its
several awards garnered, the song received positive responses from critics, citing
its sensual content. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The single was released as the fourth
and final single from the album early in 2004. Though it failed to match the
success of "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy", however still gaining enormous success
reaching number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the single had immediate
success which helped the album propel on charts. The single received similar
responses from international music markets, entering mostly top twenty. The
single's music video features Beyoncé flirtatiously and seductively dancing with
Atlanta singer Usher to portray a naughty girl. The video gained her an additional
award.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</info></v2>
