Searches and Metadata
A query containing quotes or an apostrophe causes an error
Make sure that you are not using ‘smart quotes’ in the query instead of straight quotes. ‘Smart’ (curvy or slanted) quotes might have been copied from Microsoft Word or Outlook. Queries with ‘smart’ single or double quotes are not supported by the API and generate an error. To create a valid search request, replace the ‘smart’ quote(s) in the query with straight quote(s); for example:
|
|
https://api.ap.org/media/v/content/search?q=Schindler’s+List |
|
|
|
Incorrect (slanted apostrophe):
|
|
https://api.ap.org/media/v/content/search?q=Schindler's+List |
|
|
|
Correct (straight apostrophe):
|
|
https://api.ap.org/media/v/content/search?q=“Edge+Of+Tomorrow” |
|
|
|
|
|
https://api.ap.org/media/v/content/search?q="Edge+Of+Tomorrow" |

Duplicate images in Search or Feed responses
Duplicate images with different image IDs may occasionally appear in APTOPIX content due to editorial filing practices. If you notice duplicates in content other than APTOPIX, please contact us.
No pricing in Item Metadata responses when following the links from search results
Whether or not the pricing=true
parameter was specified in the search request, search results always contain
Item Metadata links that do not include the pricing=true
parameter or the API key. You must add the pricing=true
parameter and supply the API key in the x-api-key
request header if you want to receive complete pricing information in
the Item Metadata responses (including formatted price, use code and pricing
message in addition to the price tags on renditions).
Item Metadata returns "404 Item source unavailable"
If you get this message when following the item metadata link from the search or feed response, please contact us and provide the details of the search or feed request and response and the details of the failed item metadata request.
Otherwise (for example, if you have stored the item metadata link in your system after requesting it from AP Media API), the content might no longer be available.
Downloads
"404 Requested binary cannot be located" or "404 Item source unavailable" download error
If you get this message when following the rendition download links from the search, feed or item metadata response, please contact us and provide the details of the search, feed or item metadata request and response and the details of the failed rendition download request.
Otherwise (for example, if you have stored the rendition download link in your system after requesting it from AP Media API), the content might no longer be available.
