  Notes

 

  • Content item pricing is available for search, feed and item metadata calls.

  • When a content item rendition download incurs a charge, AP Media API requires the charge acknowledgment on the download of the content item rendition. Learn more >>

  • You can use the in_my_plan parameter in the search, feed and item metadata requests to receive only those content items that do not incur any additional cost to download. Additionally, items returned include only those associations that do not incur any additional cost to download.

 

 

 

Thumbnails and previews are included in all plans, and downloading them never incurs any further billing or charges.

Main renditions are billed based on the specifics of each content item that are determined by your AP contract details for that particular type of content. Please refer to contract information for details and contact your AP Sales or Licensing representative with any questions.

 

  Important

 

As part of your contract, you may be entitled to see content that is browse-only. For these content items, the API will return the links to the preview and thumbnail renditions; however, the links to the main renditions will not be available. You may NOT use the preview or thumbnail renditions of this browse-only content.
