Getting Started

Welcome to the Reuters Spotlight service. This service provides access to the Reuters content, including multimedia articles, pictures, videos, text news and semantic markup, via a set of XML based API services.

All you need to do to get started is to register via the registration form and you will be sent an activation email to the email account you registered with. The email contains a one time only activation link or you can use the temporary password provided to activate your account. On activating your account you will be redirected to your profile page where you are required to enter your password.

Now that you are registered with Reuters Spotlight you can access the XML API services using the API key provided on your “My Account” page.
