|
|
|
|
The latest agent version 11.0.3 includes performance improvements for better stability and is now available for download. AP Media Agent has always used the encrypted HTTPS protocol, and Agent 11.x supplies the API key in the HTTP request header. If you are running older versions of the agent, we strongly urge you to automatically upgrade to the latest version to avoid potential issues and take full advantage of the new features and improved performance in the latest releases of the agent, dashboard and AP Media API. |

ImportantAP Media API Version 2.2 Build 2.2.16
Video Rendition DUIDs in NewsML-G2
DUIDs are now available for video renditions not only in JSON, but also in NewsML-G2. A DUID is a descriptive tag that ties together the important rendition characteristics and allows you to differentiate between the renditions of the same type (for example, multiple Main, Preview or Thumbnail renditions).
Example: Video rendition DUID in NewsML-G2

Fields removed from NewsML-G2 Item Metadata
Item metadata in the NewsML-G2 format no longer contains the //contentMeta/contentCreated and //contentMeta/contentModified datetime fields that had the same values as the //itemMeta/firstCreated and //itemMeta/versionCreated fields, respectively.
Make sure to use the following datetime fields:
-
The versionCreated field for the date and time in UTC when this version of the content item was published.
-
The firstCreated field for the date and time in UTC when the first version of the content item was created.
Example: The versionCreated and firstCreated fields in NewsML-G2
<itemMeta>
...
<versionCreated>2025-01-16T22:17:26Z</versionCreated>
<firstCreated>2025-01-16T14:46:02Z</firstCreated>
...
</itemMeta>
