Understanding Associated Press connection and service problems
For Associated Press users in the United States, compare AP News articles, video and topic feeds with the public apnews.com website. A response from that hostname does not verify every signed-in account or app operation.
The checker above requests apnews.com from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual Associated Press action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
Other checks in news & media: New York Post status check, NPR status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

Where to report problems with Associated Press
Open Associated Press help / reporting. Use the provider's customer-service or account-help route for the affected product. Sign-in may be required for private account questions.
Details to include in your report
Article URL, edition, text/video feature, device and time; keep private account information out of community reports.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to Associated Press.
What to check when Associated Press is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that Associated Press is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Compare the original AP article with its embedded video; an unavailable clip can differ from the article's text or topic feed.
Narrow down the affected service
Compare the same content in a second browser or device when possible. A deleted article, editorial correction or paused live feed is not itself an outage.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 Forbidden or 429 Too Many Requests means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if Associated Press is down
- Compare the website response. Open apnews.com in your browser and run the website check. Compare the time and error; a homepage response does not verify every feature.
- Test the feature that failed. Compare the original AP article with its embedded video; an unavailable clip can differ from the article's text or topic feed.
- Check for a different cause. Compare the same content in a second browser or device when possible. A deleted article, editorial correction or paused live feed is not itself an outage.
- Keep useful report details. Article URL, edition, text/video feature, device and time; keep private account information out of community reports.
