About AP News
AP News is the digital distribution platform for The Associated Press, delivering global news stories, photography, and live video coverage to readers and media outlets. Technical interruptions on the site usually involve broken image delivery, slow article loading, or failures in the real-time election result trackers and live blog updates. If the content delivery network or primary servers experience issues, the site may fail to display the latest headlines or time out during peak news cycles. Rimetry observes the availability and document fetch times of the portal to provide real-time data on whether the news service is online.
Problems with AP News can affect website, article pages, subscription & paywall independently.

Right now AP News is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 216 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to apnews.com are seeing it work normally.
