Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[John Doig <john AT creativecommons.org>]

Hey everyone,

This morning we introduced support for the Public Domain Mark in the CC 
REST API. To start testing the Public Domain Mark in your projects, your 
code will need to be configured to use the staging endpoint of the CC 
REST API web service at http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/staging/.

Keep in mind, that the staging version of the API should be considered 
unstable and only used for application testing and development. 
Production applications should use the current stable version, as the 
staging API can and will change.

To access the Public Domain Mark in the API, make calls to URLs under 
the new license class, `mark`.

For example:

http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/staging/license/mark
http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/staging/license/mark/get

For more information about this release, please consult the API 
documentation:
http://api.creativecommons.org/docs/readme_staging.html

If you come across any issues, feel free to send me an email or file a 
bug under the "API" project on our issue tracker:
http://code.creativecommons.org/issues/issue?@dispname=API&@filter=project&project=21
