Lineup Airings (TV Grid)

/lineups//grid

Returns TV grid information for a specific lineupId. Optional stationId parameter allows restricting results to one or more stations. Optional size parameter allows basic control of program metadata returned. Optional channel types parameter excludes certain types of stations: non-HD, music (radio or music-only stations), ppv (pay-per-view), adult, premium. Airing information can be requested up to 14 days in advance, for a maximum grid duration of 6 hours. Parameters for startDateTime and endDateTime should be specified on the hour or half-hour (e.g., 2:00 or 2:30, instead of 2:05 or 2:53) for best grid display and performance. Response data will be grouped by channel, then sorted by startDateTime within channel. Programs already in progress at startDateTime will be included in response data. Grid information will vary based upon program types.
