Article-to-Article API
An article-to-article workflow adapts an existing piece into a new version for a different audience, reading level, or format.

Article API
An article is more than a block of text. It has a title, an audience, a source trail, a publication state, and a destination. An Article API workflow gives those pieces a predictable structure so that a draft can move between writing tools, review queues, and publishing systems without losing its meaning.
Start with the right boundary
Start with the content contract, not an endpoint. Decide which fields must survive every handoff, which values an editor owns, and what a receiving system may change. The guides here explain these design choices; ArticleAPI.com does not issue credentials or operate a hosted article-generation endpoint.
A practical workflow
01. Describe the record
Separate the article identifier, headline, summary, body, language, sources, and editorial state. A stable identifier should not depend on a title that an editor may rewrite.
02. Validate the handoff
Check required fields and allowed states before accepting a record. Preserve a distinction between missing information, an intentionally empty value, and a confirmed fact.
03. Choose a destination
Map the approved record to one output first. Keep CMS-specific fields in an adapter instead of making every writer understand the destination platform.
Before the next handoff
- A durable identifier and explicit revision.
- A documented body format and source list.
- An approval state separate from publication.
KEEP THIS IN MIND
Do not treat successfully parsed JSON as a publication decision. Structure checks cannot establish whether the article is accurate, useful, or yours to publish.
Is an Article API the same as an AI writing model?
No. A model may help produce a draft, while an article interface describes how content is represented, reviewed, and exchanged. Either can exist without the other.
