About Associated Press

The Associated Press Developer platform provides a set of APIs and metadata services for accessing AP news content programmatically. The Media API and Media Agent allow retrieval of AP multimedia content, either through direct API access or automated downloads via a configuration dashboard. Metadata Services integrate AP's News Taxonomy into publishing systems, applying descriptive metadata to content through the AP Tagging Service.

The Elections API delivers real-time vote tallies and race calls for national, state, and local elections in the United States, covering the period from poll close through certification. The ENPS/Storytelling API supports newsroom workflows by enabling custom application development and integration with third-party and bespoke systems.

This platform is intended for publishers, newsrooms, and organizations that need to integrate AP news content, taxonomy-based metadata, election results, or newsroom storytelling tools into their own systems.
