AP Newsfinder Service Information

Newsfinder is a service of the Associated Press and SCH Information Services, Inc. The Newsfinder text database is all the Associated Press' stories from all the regional, national, international, Spanish and sports wires. Stories are released to the database 24 hours after the time of original transmission. Members also gain access to AP complete photo and graphics archives on the same basis.

Newsfinder offers access to this database through text searching and metadata searching. Of course, all AP's metadata is maintained. Different metadata of many types is available to search: keywords, slugs, productIDs, geography, etc.

Newsfinder is available to qualifying, non-daily, newspapers in the U.S. Newsfinder member publications can also purchase AP photos and graphics for their papers for an additional, nominal fee.

The Newsfinder text service was started in late 1984 as a direct dial-up service. Now, using broadband and a web rowser, qualifying members are able to access the text service and preview thumbnails of photos, and ultimately download the images to their computer.
