New dpa format: Digital Wires now integrated in BrixWire

Posted On 25. July 2024

The German Press Agency (dpa) is transitioning its news format from XML to the modern JSON-based format, “Digital Wires.” This innovative format enables seamless integration of multimedia elements into news articles.

Integration with BrixWire

At BrixWire, we’ve successfully integrated the jsonfeed API. This ensures that all BrixWire users are well-prepared for the transition.

Available APIs

jsonfeed

• Allows retrieval of current articles of a profile, including metadata and image links, via an HTTP request.
• Structurally similar to Atom-XML or RSS feeds but uses JSON as the data format.

s3push

• Transfers new or updated articles directly to a customer’s S3 bucket.
• Articles can be regularly fetched or converted into custom formats via cloud functions (e.g., AWS Lambda) and automatically imported into the CMS.

wireq

• Displays current articles of a profile, including metadata and image links, via a queue-based delivery.
• Articles can be retrieved with a RESTful request and removed from the queue after successful import.

Benefits for BrixWire Users

With this integration, BrixWire users can:

• Efficiently access new dpa formats.
• Benefit from enhanced multimedia capabilities and ease of use.
• Ensure their systems are always up-to-date and function seamlessly.
