The New York Times has multiple APIs that allows the user to search through its articles, movie and book reviews, best seller lists, and top stories. The times tag and semantic_api can also be used to find metadata of an article. There does not seem to be an API that looks specifically look through videos, photographs, or other forms of media, such as the the New York Times podcast. With all of the data available within the New York Times, especially since it’s a new organization, the api would be helpful in finding certain topics or articles about specific events. There is a lot of potential to use the data to represent and engage the user with what is happening in the news, especially with the current political climate. If possible, there could be an api that connects with multiple news sites and compare the articles that are written for the same event, and looks specifically at the language used in the articles.
