Adrian, you should be able to view metadata through the API, even if its not published, as long as you have set up an API token to authenticate with.

I’ve attached a link to the API training that covers what is need to do to set this up.

The two necessary slides are also below:

Hope that helps!

Also, we’re planning on setting up a developer specific help site that covers the API and if you’ve got some suggestions on how we could handle this it’d be appreciated.
