I looked a little further into this this morning and I believe I will change directions. The scheduled recordings interface is walled up to participating "partners", however it's totally doable to write a script that can handle the .tvvi downloads from the [titantv.com](http://titantv.com) interface, and pass the data on to Node-RED. You can then assign that script as the app to handle .tvvi extensions. All the necessary data is there in that .tvvi file and the script can just make a webhook call to node-red to pass it on and schedule the recording.

There are 2 different "record" buttons on [titantv.com](http://titantv.com) listings. One is for when you're on the local machine, which triggers a .tvvi file download and the other is for remotely scheduling recordings. It's the local record button that I think I can take advantage of to trigger the script to parse the data and execute a POST to send it to Node-RED.
