API Error and Approval Process

I started submitting articles on Tuesday for Apple News and they were immediately put on hold pending approval.


That approval has never come and now I am getting an error message saying there is an API error. Meanwhile, articles are piling up.


First, what does the approval process entail? There is nothing from Apple, and no expectation were set. Meanwhile, the RSS feed has stopped refreshing the Apple News content. (Is the best way to proceed is to simply stop using the Apple News Format and go back to RSS feeds?)


Update: this is what I got from Apple:


Array

(

[headers] => Array

(

[www-authenticate] => HHMAC

[content-type] => application/json; charset=UTF-8

[content-length] => 39

[connection] => keep-alive

)


[body] => {"errors":[{"code":"WRONG_SIGNATURE"}]}

[response] => Array

(

[code] => 401

[message] => Unauthorized

)


[cookies] => Array

(

)


[filename] =>

)

I have the same thing as you, and stil waiting 3 days now


I think I've set everything up correctly, but maybe not... Have submitted both a regular manaul article and 2 CMS submitted ones, still pending


Any clues from experts?

Hello,


If you are encoutnering an error message when using the News API, we recommend downloading the PAPI-client. The API uses an industry-standard authorization mechanism to protect your data and ensure that only approved clients have access to your content. A command-line-interface (Ruby Gem) is available.


Additoinally, we recommend you carefully review the API documentation which is avaialbe on News Resources and Support:
