Looks like Nitro isn't the way forward for open data - developer keys being revoked in one week :(

One of those 3 lonely posts pointed to some Nitro-based code developed 
for http://atlas.metabroadcast.com (https://github.com/mbst/glycerin). 
Looking through their source, it looks like Nitro might support the 
kinds of queries that would be useful in a get_iplayer-friendly indexer. 
  But knowing nothing about the actual data formats and performance, 
that's pure speculation on my part.

I'm a tiny bit jealous you actually got a key.  I tried twice before you 
and just received a couple of brush-offs, as others have.  But to have 
your key revoked?  That has the unmistakeable whiff of furious retrenchment.
