News agency AFP has launched a new API to simplify access to its real-time production.

News media will be able to integrate the API directly into content production and editing tools or mobile applications, with developers able to create their own custom-made applications.

The agency, which has 201 bureaux in 151 countries, says it produces 5000 text and multimedia dispatches, 3000 photos, 100 videos, 80 infographics and video graphics a day, enriched with 640,000 pieces of metadata, which are accessible in six languages.

Technical specifications and a free trial are available at https://developers.afp.com/en/
