Public API

The daily.dev Public API is a REST API that enables AI agents, automation tools, and custom integrations to access personalized developer content. Whether you're building with Claude Code, OpenClaw, or creating your own integration, the API provides programmatic access to your feeds, bookmarks, posts, and more.

Plus Required

The Public API requires an active Plus subscription.

Getting Started​

Generate a Personal Access Token​

  1. Go to API Settings
  2. Click "Generate new token"
  3. Give your token a descriptive name (e.g., "My AI Agent")
  4. Choose an expiration period (never, 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year)
  5. Copy and securely store your token - it will only be shown once

Security Best Practices​

  • Never commit tokens to version control
  • Store tokens in environment variables or secure vaults
  • Revoke tokens you no longer need from the settings page

Authentication​

All API requests require Bearer token authentication.

Header format:

Authorization: Bearer <your-token>

Example request:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-token-here" \
  https://api.daily.dev/public/v1/feeds

Error responses:

  • 401 Unauthorized - Missing or invalid token

Base URL & API Reference​

The OpenAPI spec provides complete endpoint documentation including request/response schemas, and can be imported into tools like Postman or used to generate client libraries.

For complete endpoint details, parameters, and response schemas, see the OpenAPI specification.

Rate Limiting​

The API implements two layers of rate limiting:

Limit TypeRatePurpose
IP-based300 requests/minuteProtection against abuse
User-based60 requests/minuteFair usage quota

Rate limit headers in responses:

  • x-ratelimit-limit - Your rate limit ceiling
  • x-ratelimit-remaining - Requests remaining in current window
  • x-ratelimit-reset - When the rate limit resets

When rate limited (HTTP 429):

  • retry-after header indicates seconds to wait
  • Back off and retry after the indicated time

Response Format​

All responses use JSON with a consistent structure.

Paginated responses:

{
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "hasNextPage": true,
    "endCursor": "cursor-string"
  }
}

Pagination: Use cursor-based pagination by passing the endCursor value as the cursor parameter in subsequent requests.

Skills (AI Agent Integrations)​

The daily.dev plugin ships a set of Skills for your AI coding agent. Once you install the plugin in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenClaw, the following skills are available:

  • /daily.dev – interact with your personalized feed, bookmarks, custom feeds, and profile through the Public API. Useful for pulling your reading list into your editor, saving links, or running your own custom feeds.
  • /daily-dev-ask – WebSearch for developers, grounded in daily.dev's community-curated articles. Ask a technical question and the agent searches the corpus of articles read and upvoted by the daily.dev community, then returns an answer with linked sources. Try it on the dedicated page at https://app.daily.dev/agents/ask.

Both skills require an active Plus subscription and a Personal Access Token (see Getting Started above).

Why daily-dev-ask vs. generic web search?

daily-dev-ask ranks results by developer upvotes (not SEO), restricts answers to community-vetted developer articles, and always grounds responses with links you can open. It's designed as a focused alternative to general web search when you want trustworthy, technical answers.

Claude Code​

Add the daily.dev plugin to Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/dailydotdev/daily.git
claude plugin install daily.dev@daily.dev
claude "/daily.dev setup"

After installation you can invoke either skill from your prompt:

  • /daily.dev – interact with your feed, bookmarks, and custom feeds.
  • /daily-dev-ask your question here – search daily.dev's article corpus and get a sourced answer.

OpenClaw​

Copy one of these instructions to your agent to install the matching skill:

Install the daily-dev skill from clawdhub and explain my new superpowers
Install daily-dev-ask from clawhub and ask about my topic

The skills are available on ClawHub at https://clawhub.ai/idoshamun/daily-dev.

Codex​

Install the skills in Codex:

$skill-installer install the daily.dev skill from https://github.com/dailydotdev/daily.git
$skill-installer install the daily-dev-ask skill from https://github.com/dailydotdev/daily.git

Restart Codex after installation, then use $daily.dev to interact with your feed or $daily-dev-ask to search daily.dev's article corpus.

Cursor​

Add daily.dev as a remote rule in Cursor:

  1. Open Cursor Settings → Rules (Cmd+Shift+J on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows/Linux)
  2. Click "Add Rule" → "Remote Rule (Github)"
  3. Enter the repository URL: https://github.com/dailydotdev/daily.git

In Agent chat, use /daily.dev to interact with your feed or /daily-dev-ask to search daily.dev's article corpus.

Direct API Integration​

For custom integrations, use the OpenAPI specification to generate client libraries or make direct HTTP requests. The specification is available at:

Example: Fetching Your Feed​

# Get your personalized feed
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILY_DEV_TOKEN" \
  "https://api.daily.dev/public/v1/feeds"

# Get the next page using cursor
