How can I enable the REST API?

[Pete Warden]

I'm getting ready to release some PHP example code for the REST API, and I think I'm close but I'm hitting a problem. I've made it through the OAuth dance, but I'm receiving this error response when I actually try to make an API call:

[{"message":"The REST API is currently in pilot, and is not enabled for your organization.","errorCode":"API_DISABLED_FOR_ORG"}]

From the previous thread I understand that this is a separate permission from the main API one that's enabled by default for Developer Edition accounts. How can I turn that permission on?

Here's the code as it stands:

And here's a live demo:

Thanks for the reply Simon. I'd already registered for the webinar, but I went through the process at https://www.developerforce.com/events/rest_developer_preview/registration.php again. Unfortunately I'm still receiving the same error message, even after waiting 20 minutes for any changes to trickle through.

Any thoughts on other things I can try to help track down what's wrong?

I have the same issue :-(

Although I have more than one dev account, I am pretty sure that the account through which I registered for the webinar is

the same one I am using to try out the REST explorer.

In the webinar it was mentioned that "if it does not work (i.e not enabled), please email <cannot remember>"

Anyone know whom I can email ?

Thanks

Hi Pete,

Our Dev Evangelist team is checking the process.

In the mean time I have enabled your Org.

Cheers,

Hey guys,

If you've signed up for the Dev Preview but your org wasn't enabled, please email me directly at dle@salesforce.com with your Developer Edition username.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I'm now up and running and have released my short guide to getting started with REST version of the API in PHP:

I too am having this issue.  Is it my developer account that needs to be enabled or the account for the user?  I've gone to http://developer.force.com/REST and don't see anything about registration.  Since it's over a year later, I'm assuming that's no longer necessary.  Thanks.
