Please check the headers you get back from any such request, though:

X-Aps-Deprecation-Notice: APS is soon to be deprecated. It will first
of all cease to be supported on a 24/7 basis, and will then cease
responding entirely. Nitro is the BBC's new API for programme data,
and can provide all the information previously provided by APS. Go
here to read more: http://developer.bbc.co.uk/nitro

It's nice to have for now, but I wouldn't go building any serious
infrastructure on it.
