# Associated Press Connector

## Intro

The Associated Press (AP) is an American multinational nonprofit news agency headquartered in New York City. You can use Domo's Associated Press connector to compile reports containing current Associated Press feed content. For more information about the Associated Press API, see [https://developer.ap.org/api-console](https://developer.ap.org/api-console "https://developer.ap.org/api-console").

The Associated Press connector is a "Cloud App" connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking **Cloud App** in the toolbar at the top of the window.

You create an Associated Press DataSet in the **Data Center**. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Associated Press connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Prerequisites

None. (Associated Press's data is publicly accessible.)

## Creating an Associated Press DataSet

This section describes how to create an Associated Press DataSet in the Associated Press Connector page in Domo. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

### Details Pane

This pane contains a single menu in which you select an Associated Press report type.

The following table describes all of the predefined reports you can create using the Domo Associated Press connector.
