Adding Content Web Clip

• A Web Clip allows for quick posts of external
  content. If you find a new article or post
  somewhere on another site, you can easily link to
  it using the Web Clip.
• You can also add an extra introductory paragraph,
  so that your readers will have context as to how
  the article relates to them.
• To add a Web Clip, go to your Add Content page
  and select Web Clip.

Getting NPR Content from the API
14
Using the NPI API Getting Started

• What is the NPR API?
• The NPR API contains posts published for NPR.org
  and NPR programs, as well as posts published by
  other stations using Core Publisher. You can
  search the API for posts that you can publish to
  your site.
• Why should I use the NPR API?
• The main benefit of using the API is the ability
  to publish posts from other NPR sources to your
  site for your web visitors to read without having
  to leave your site.

15
Using the NPI API Getting Started

• How do I get content from the API?
• There are two ways to get content from the NPR
  API
• Top Posts from NPR are automatically published
  into a block on your homepage called Latest from
  NPR
• You can grab the URL of posts you see on NPR.org
  and post them to your site.
• Where does my content from the API live on my
  site?
• Besides the Latest from NPR block, you can tag
  any content from the API with a Category or tag
  to control its placement on your site.
