Public API

Last updated

Table of Contents

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.

The same surface is available three ways:

  • REST API with a personal access token, documented on this page.
  • MCP server at https://api.daily.dev/mcp: add it to Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code or any MCP client and every operation becomes a tool. No code needed.
  • OAuth apps: let other people sign in with daily.dev so your app calls the API on their behalf.

Developers share what they build on the API in the plugin marketplace: agent skills, apps and tools you can use today, and a place to list your own.

Use of the Public API is subject to the Terms of Service, including the Public API section.

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/foryou

Error responses:

  • 401 Unauthorized - Missing or invalid token
  • 403 Forbidden - The endpoint needs Plus, or an OAuth token is missing the required scope
  • 429 Too Many Requests - Rate limit or monthly quota reached, see Rate limiting

OAuth access tokens issued for https://api.daily.dev/public/v1 work in the same header. See OAuth apps.

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 Type Rate Purpose
IP-based 300 requests/minute Protection against abuse
User-based 60 requests/minute Fair usage quota

Your quota is shared across everything that acts as you: all your personal access tokens, OAuth apps you've connected, and MCP tool calls. Plus raises the limits.

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,
    "cursor": "cursor-string"
  }
}

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

MCP server

If your agent speaks MCP, you don't need any of the above. Add the remote server and sign in with daily.dev when prompted:

https://api.daily.dev/mcp

For Claude Code that's one command:

claude mcp add --transport http daily.dev https://api.daily.dev/mcp

Every API operation becomes a tool, named after its operationId. Clients that can't run OAuth can send a personal access token as a Bearer header instead. See the MCP server guide for Cursor, Codex, VS Code and Claude desktop setup.

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://daily.dev/agents/ask.

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/foryou"

# Get the next page using cursor
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILY_DEV_TOKEN" \
  "https://api.daily.dev/public/v1/feeds/foryou?cursor=cursor-from-previous-response"

Frequently asked questions

The Public API is a REST interface that lets users access their personalized feed programmatically, build integrations with AI coding assistants, and automate workflows around their daily.dev content.
