Typical Search Workflow

Work with your own editorial system. Your editors search and download content using your own editorial tools:

  1. Run a search. When an editor performs a search in your editorial system, your custom program searches the content available via AP Media API and displays search results along with key metadata and content item pricing. More about Search >>

  2. Pick a result to view metadata. When an editor selects a search result, your custom program retrieves full content metadata with pricing (if applicable) from the AP Media API system. More about Item Metadata >>

  3. Download content. When an editor wants to download a content file, your custom program downloads the requested file from the AP Media API system. More about Item Downloads >>

  4. Review your account information. When an editor wants to check how many downloads available for your plan have already been used or download your order history, your custom program retrieves your plan and usage information or order history from AP Media API. More about Account >>
