JSON REST API – version 2 – Playlists

Note: The version 2 API does not authenticate using a Connect user’s username and password using HTTP BASIC AUTH. Instead you create a client application using Connect’s web user interface. The client application is issued an ACCESS KEY and SECRET PASSPHRASE. These values must be passed in custom header values on every request.
