AP Person Extractions Added to Person Tagging
AP Classification Person tags in JSON and NewsML-G2 now include AP person extractions (people names extracted from the content) in addition to existing known AP Person tags with unique identifiers (AP GUIDs) from the AP Person Taxonomy. As breaking news stories develop, person extractions allow for tagging previously unknown newsmakers starting from the first story where they appear.
-
AP Person extractions have a Type of PERSON and relevance scores, but no AP GUIDs or other associations that come with the existing AP Person Taxonomy tags.
-
There is no change in the data format of existing AP Person Taxonomy tags.
-
The same person appears only once on the same item in the machine-applied classification. However, on photos and videos, the same person may appear in both the editorially-applied person_featured tags and the machine-applied classification.

Stock Exchange Codes
Effective April 2024, the stock exchange codes used in AP Classification tags are changing.
AP Company tags include all companies trading on NYSE, NASDAQ, Toronto Stock Exchange, Tokyo Stock Exchange and XETRA - Frankfurt (in bold in the Full List of Stock Exchange Codes). Also included are newsworthy companies trading on other exchanges and select private companies. For all publicly traded companies covered in AP Company, AP Media API delivers the primary instrument and industry with the tag. The primary instrument consists of a stock exchange abbreviation and ticker symbol.
The stock exchange abbreviations are now standardized to the new three-letter codes as shown below. These codes will appear in both the $.organisation.symbols.exchange and $.organisation.symbols.instrument values in JSON.
