dpa-Basis-/Landesdienste: Multimedia delivery via dpa-digitalwires

Modified on Thu, 24 Apr at 2:21 PM

Starting from April 29, 2025, the dpa-Basisdienst and the dpa-Landesdienste will go multimedia. 


Which means:

  • Articles can contain linked images (i.e. the associations list in dpa-digitalwires format may contain entries).
  • There may be embedded content in the article text (article_html in dpa-digitalwires-Format) e.g. positioned images (dnl-image) or X-Posts (dnl-twitterembed),.


Enclosed you will find a sample message in mono (old) and multimedia (new) versions to help you understand the changes.

Please check that your systems can also process these documented extensions which have been in use for the multimedia weblines for quite some time.


For further information, please refer to the documentation in the API-Portal.


Note: The multimedia content can only be received via dpa-digitalwires. This does not affect customers who still receive NewsML-G2. NewsML-G2 is expected to be discontinued at the end of 2025.
