This doesn't work for me. The data I obtain fron both sources does not show any activity beyond 21st December (possible, but unlikely !!)
Quote from: Tyson Anderson on January 17, 2017, 17:05It looks like iStock and Getty get hated on pretty hard here... but doesn't anyone think this might be a change for the better? A one month inconvenience and transition to ESP and they might just be creating a more user friendly interface. Maybe I'm just hoping here...There shouldn't be a month of inconvenience (do you honestly believe this will be sorted in a month?).What should happen, and what most major corporations do, is develop and thoroughly test a new system on a parallel virtual website and network and only when it's running smoothly with no bugs do you go live on the real website.Getty's strategy is more a case of constantly throwing crap at the fan on the actual site to see what sticks.As for deepmeta, if it's actually working for balance totals then I'm in deep trouble because it's been stuck on zero since December and I can't remember going this long without a credit sale.

No sales in jan here either. I would be happier if it's a system fault rather than assume that iStock is so far gone that it can't even get us sales
this idio.ts. I know nothing about my money since december. They have this information and dont give us the information.I think all contributors should make a campaign to fight against this scammers only deleting is not enough....Istock is pure microstock cancer if they die it is good for the whole market.Lets fight them.
This www.espaws.com website, is it the replacement for istock site?is the login the same as istock?

But they wrote us,Scheduled for January 3, 2017iStock.com contributor tools will be retired on www.istockphoto.com/xnetLogin details for the ESP Platform sent to iStockersiStock contributor tools become available via the ESP Platform. It's now weeks past that and what we got instead was, maybe February. Meanwhile they did retire the iStock information feed.The ESP platform is integrated with the Getty Images keywording tree.Your old keywords won't work anymore and a new version of DM is coming. Data will not be available the same as it was, but might be in the future.The new platform should be better, easier and more friendly. I hope it is. After the usual SNAFUs I'm not confident.Then they say, Our next official update will come in December when we share details of the main differences between uploading at iStock.com and the new batch functionality with ESP Upload.This notice was emailed January 18th 2017. Does that deflate your confidence? Maybe they mean December 2017? I don't know anymore.

Apolgoies if this question has already been asked - but how do we sign onto ESP? I don't have a getty username/password, I only have an istock username and password.
Thanks ShadySue, i'll message them now.
