Steps
Request Broadsign Control API access for a specific domain user by emailing Broadsign services with the user ID — API access is provisioned per user, not self-serve signup
Generate an HTTP bearer token in Broadsign Control Administrator (user properties > credentials tab) for sandbox testing against api-sandbox.broadsign.com
For production, generate a private key, submit a certificate signing request (CSR) to Broadsign services, and assign the returned public key fingerprint to the API user (mutual-TLS auth against api.broadsign.com)
Use the REST method reference (Swagger UI at docs.broadsign.com/swag/swagger-ui-master) to find campaign, content, and player/loop endpoints
Import content, build/update a campaign or schedule, and assign it to the target players via the relevant REST endpoints
Validate fully in the sandbox domain before cutting over to the certificate-authenticated production domain
Known gotchas
Sandbox and production use entirely different auth mechanisms (bearer HTTP token vs. certificate + public key fingerprint) and are separate domains/entities requiring separate API users and credentials
There is no self-service API signup — a Broadsign Control Administrator user must be granted REST access by Broadsign services first, which is an offline/manual step
'Scoping' means two different things in Broadsign's docs: restricting what a user can see in Broadsign Control Administrator vs. narrowing list-operation results in the REST API
