The Basics

Q1: What is AP Exchange?

AP Exchange is a password-protected Web-based mechanism used to access AP and/or member content.

Q2: Who is AP Exchange for?

AP Exchange is for AP members and clients.

Q3: Why do this?

Databases provide an opportunity to offer AP members a much more efficient way to access the AP and member content available to them. AP generates thousands of stories every day. Finding a story that matters most is much easier through this type of service.

Searching for stories is better; users can access the service from any computer with a Web connection, members can save specific searches, so this truly becomes a highly personalized method to access AP. Members and clients can also pull content from AP Exchange into their production systems via AP WebFeeds or submit content via XML, text or HTML.
