The AP Media API gives licensed AP customers programmatic access to text, photo, video, audio, and print-graphics content already covered by their existing AP agreement, plus a Swagger-documented explorer for testing calls. There is no public self-serve free tier — access requires an existing commercial content license, provisioned with an API key through the AP Newsroom / Media Agent portal. Responses are JSON.
