Add a new usage to track usages with integrated apps

[Conalb97]

Short Description

The BBC intend to integrate BBC Images with a number of applications within the BBC. To help establish on audit trail of where these images have been used, who by and by what integrated app, we require a new usage to be added to the usages service.

Proposal

We would add a new usage: 'Integration Usage' to the usages service.

This new usage would have the proposed json body:

"data":{
        "integratedby": string,
        "integration tool": string,
        "mediaId": string,
        "dateAdded": date time
    }

And the proposed API end point:

POST    /usages/integration                            controllers.UsageApi.setIntegrationUsages

Pre-Grid Hour

Our intention would be to dicuss this further during the upcoming grid hour, with our main questions being:

• Does the Guardian have any experience with integration The Grid that could be useful to share?
• Are there any ammendments required to the proposal?
• Could this usage be developed in a way that would make this generic enough that other users of The Grid would also be able to benefit from it?
