NewsEdge API

Publishing Newsletters

The Publishing APIs allow you to create and share a newsletter via email. Newsletter content may originate from previously saved searches, stories added to folders, text and content marked up with HTML, or any combination of the three. Upload and add images to brand your newsletter with Art APIs. Then publish the newsletter by request or configure a schedule to deliver the newsletter to a list of email addresses.

The list of available APIs is established for each user by the Acquire Media Administrator. (Some documented API may not be available for your use.)

Initial Newsletter Set-up

Back to Example

Create the newsletter.
The newsletter/create API request includes the required parameters name and title. The name is for reference only, whereas the title appears at the beginning of your newsletter and is shown in the email subject line.

The API response returns the newsletter unique identifier number which is used in subsequent requests to modify and update the newsletter.

Modify the newsletter date format and its location.
When the newsletter is published, the current date is shown in the email. A number of different options are available to customize the newsletter date, from where the date is displayed, to how the date is formatted.

By default, the date appears on the same line as the newsletter title, aligned at the right margin, and formatted as YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20190208. In this example, by using the optional parameter dateLocation with the newsletter/update API, the date is set to appear on the line following the title. Appending a second optional parameter dateFormat, set the date format value with necessary punctuation, e.g. forward slash (/), pipe-delimiter (|), hyphen (-), or comma (,), to modify the format of the date. In this example, the date will be changed to display as February 8, 2019.

<%a> - Day of the week written in short form, e.g. Mon, Tue, Wed, etc.

<%A> - Day of the week written in long form, e.g. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.

<%_m> - Month expressed in single digit numeric form, e.g. 1 for January, 2 for February, ..., through to 12 for December.

<%m> - Month expressed in double digit numeric form, e.g. 01 for January, 02 for February, ..., through to 12 for December.

<%b> - Month written in short form, e.g. Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.

<%B> - Month written in long form, e.g. January, February, March, etc.

<%e> - Day of month expressed in single digit numeric form, e.g. 1, 2, 3, ..., 30, 31.

<%d> - Day of month expressed in double digits numeric form, e.g. 01, 02, 03, ..., 30, 31.

<%ord> - Include ordinal after the day of month, e.g. st after the 1st, nd after the 2nd, etc.

<%y> - Year in double digit numeric form, e.g. 18 for 2018, 19 for 2019, etc.

<%Y> - Year in four digit numeric form, e.g. 2018, 2019, etc.

Setting up Newsletter Sections

Back to Example

Each section of the newsletter can be populated by any one of these three different source types:

Saved search - Use the savedsearch/list API to retrieve available saved searches and identify the desired search ID. With the newsletter/addsection request, use the required parameter dataSourceType with value SEARCH and include the optional parameter search along with the search ID value.
Story folder - Use the storyfolder/list API to retrieve available folders and identify the ID for the desired folder. Then with the newsletter/addsection, use required parameter dataSourceType with value FOLDER and append the optional parameter folder with the folder ID.
HTML - use HTML mark-up to add content to the section. An HTML based section can be left empty, or use the optional parameter html to define the HTML mark-up. With the newsletter/addsection required parameter dataSourceType, submit the value HTML.

The first two source types populates a newsletter section with headline contents. The HTML option allows you to add informational content, such as an announcement, information and links to industry resources that may be of interest to your readers, etc.

In the following examples, three newsletter sections will be added. The first section will link to stories resulting from a saved search. The second section will link to stories saved to a folder. Finally, in the last section, the section will be used to display a message for the newsletter readers.

Determining the saved search for the newsletter section.

Submit a request with the savedsearch/list API to retrieve available saved searches.

Request

https://secure.newsedge.com/opensapi/20/savedsearch/list?session=935DA0B364E9E130F0EC3827FC3CCC9C

</opens-api>

Creating a section.
To add a newsletter section, use the newsletter/addsection along with parameters to name the section, define the dataSourceType as one of the three content options, and the requisite optional parameter based on the data type. In this example, the first section in our newsletter will get its content from a saved search.

Note the section ID number which is referenced when making additional configuration changes.

Request
```
https://secure.newsedge.com/opensapi/20/newsletter/addsection?session=935DA0B364E9E130F0EC3827FC3CCC9C&newsletter=2104&name=Recent%20Patent%20News&dataSourceType=SEARCH&search=13821
```
Response
```
<opens-api>
  <status>OK</status>
  <sectionID>3455</sectionID>
</opens-api>
```
Customizing the section.
Once the section is created and content linked, consider other section configurations, e.g. the number of headlines to display defaults to 10, should there be more or fewer headlines? When there are no results from the search, the newsletter omits the section, should the section be included even when no results are found? Do you want to add a section comment. Review the optional parameters for newsletter/updatesection to determine whether to customize further.

In this example, the number of headlines will be changed to 15 by using the newsletter/updatesection API and the optional parameter storyLimit.

Request
```
https://secure.newsedge.com/opensapi/20/newsletter/updatesection?session=935DA0B364E9E130F0EC3827FC3CCC9C&newsletter=2104&section=3455&storyLimit=15

Customizing folder-linked section.
Folders contain selected stories and only the stories with a status of ACTIVE will be published in the newsletter. To avoid publishing the same folder articles in the next edition, use the optional parameter storeOnSend with the newsletter/updatesection API to change the story status to STORED after publication.

To learn more about story status, see the storyfolder/updatestory API optional parameter status.

In this example, the section will display up to 15 ACTIVE stories from the folder and after the newsletter is published, the status for published stories will be changed to STORED.

Request

Sorting sections.
As each section is added to the newsletter the section is assigned an order value one integer greater than the previous section. The first "Patent News" section has order value "1" and is shown first in the newsletter. The second "Industry News" section has order value "2" and it will appear following the Patent News. Here, in this example, the order of the sections will be changed to have Industry News stories appearing before Patent News. Use the newsletter/updatesection with the optional parameter order.

Adding Artwork

Back to Top

Add visual interest to your newsletter by including an image at the beginning or end of the newsletter, as part of the introduction or footer, or include an image with the HTML-defined sections. The Art APIs allow you to upload, manage and delete images. Once the art is uploaded, use the newsletter/addtopart or newsletter/addbottomart to include images as the newsletter masthead or at the end of your newsletter. Or use the optional parameters with the newsletter/update and newsletter/updatesection APIs to link the images with the introduction, footer or section(s).

Note, images can be used multiple times, within the same newsletter or for different newsletters, e.g. upload a company logo and reuse this logo as the art shown at the top of all your newsletters.

Another way to check that the art has been added to the newsletter is to request the newsletter/info results. The image URL for top art and bottom art will be returned when images are linked to the newsletter. Note: reviewing the newsletter with the newsletter/info API does not show the size of the image relative to the newsletter. The best way to confirm the image size is to preview the newsletter, as described by the previous two examples.

Add a Schedule to a Newsletter

Back to Top

As an alternative to sending a newsletter by issuing the newsletter/send request, the OPENS API offers the option for a newsletter to be scheduled and automatically published on a predetermined day(s) of the week at a set time(s) of day or at intervals throughout the day.

The OPENS API user's timezone defaults to Eastern Time. Please contact the Acquire Media Administrator for assistance to modify the default timezone.

Newsletter Schedule at a Specified Time
Add a Periodic Schedule to a Newsletter

Newsletter Schedule at a Specified Time

Back to Example

With this example, the newsletter will be set to publish at a set time.

Add a schedule.
In this example, the newsletter will be configured to automatically publish on Monday and Thursdays at 8:00 AM.

With the newsletter/addschedule API, use the following required parameters:
- type - with the value settime.
- days - with the values for the days of the week.
- setTime - with the time of day entered as hhmmss. This time is set per the timezone assigned to your OPENS API account. To modify the default timezone, contact the Acquire Media Administrator.
For the days values, each day can be represented by a numeric value, e.g. 1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday, through to 7 for Sunday, or alternatively, spell out the day(s) of the week in full. Use a comma to separate values when setting the schedule to publish on multiple days of the week. Use weekdays as a value if setting the newsletter to auto-publish from Monday through to Friday. And use all as the value if the newsletter is to publish every day of the week.

The returned result is a schedule ID used to retrieve the schedule details with the newsletter/getschedule API.

Note: after adding the schedule, to begin automatically publishing the newsletter, you will need to update the newsletter to enable auto-publishing. See the Activate Newsletter example further down.

Once the newsletter schedule is configured, you may begin the delivery by using the newsletter/update API with the parameter enableAutoPublish set to TRUE.

At the designated time, the system will gather the stories for each newsletter section, depending on the section configurations, it will check for new search results since the last time the newsletter was published or look for ACTIVE stories in the story folders, and send the newsletter to the associated email recipients.

Note: If there are no new search results and no ACTIVE stories in the folders, then an empty newsletter is not published. Unless, one or more sections was configured to show a message with an empty section.

Add a Periodic Schedule to a Newsletter

Back to Example

An alternative to setting specific times for the newsletter to publish is set a newsletter to publish at regular time intervals, e.g. every 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

Add a periodic schedule.
In contrast to the newsletter/addschedule example above, the newsletter/addschedule request here uses the following required parameters:
- type - with the value periodic.
- days - with the values for the days of the week separated by commas. The value for Monday through Friday is weekdays. The value for 7-days a week is all.
- startTime - the time of day when the schedule will take effect, and with value submitted as hhmmss. This time is set per the timezone assigned to your OPENS API account. To modify the default timezone, contact the Acquire Media Administrator.
- endTime - the time of day the newsletter will cease automatically publishing and value submitted as hhmmss.
- periodInSeconds - time interval specified in seconds. e.g. 1800 would schedule the newsletter to send every 30 minutes.
In this example, the newsletter will be configured to automatically publish on Mondays and Thursdays, every 30 minutes beginning at 8:00 AM and ending at 5:00PM. Remember, the default timezone is Eastern Time. Please contact the Acquire Media Administrator for assistance to modify the default timezone.

The returned result is a schedule ID used to retrieve the schedule details with the newsletter/getschedule API.

List newsletters.

To review the newsletters owned or shared with your OPENS API account use the newsletter/list API. From the returned results, the newsletter ID can be used with the other newsletter APIs to update and manage a particular newsletter, e.g. use the newsletter/info API to retrieve more details about the selected newsletter.

Note: the OPENS API user is a member of a NewsEdge group and may have access to newsletters shared between members of your group. The newsletter attribute level is either USER or GROUP. In the sample returned results, the newsletter with ID=2106 and named Market Update for Sales Group, is a group-level newsletter that is viewable and can be published by the OPENS API user. However, modifying the group-shared newsletter is dependent on the OPENS API privileges. Contact the Acquire Media Administrator with questions about rights to manage and modify shared newsletters.
