How to get a developer key for ViaGogo API

Question

Long shot, but I'd like to fiddle with ViaGogo API (C# library more precisely). ViaGogo has a well documented public API, documentation is avaliable here.

Problem is, you need to authenticated as it usually happens with this kind of APIs: usually, you find a section of the website, maybe in your profile section, where you can obtain keys, secrets and so on (this happens for example on Facebook or Amazon).

As for ViaGogo, I only found a link that points to a Google Form: this form asks for info about advertising and affiliation on a complete different level of what I need, I won't publish anything read via API. Furthermore, there's no field to leave an e-mail address.

Their C# library seems pretty popular as far as I can tell from downloads from NuGet; I wonder how all these thousands of devs succesfully called that API.

Has anyone succesfully obtained authentication info from ViaGogo?

There doesn't seem to be any way around this registration according to their website and the api itself -- an appID and password is required. You may try your luck emailing them at [email protected] -- see this issue on github where the possibility of getting an account via email is discussed: https://github.com/viagogo/developer.viagogo.net/issues/24
