daily.dev API for AI Agents

Overcome LLM knowledge cutoffs with real-time developer content. daily.dev aggregates articles from thousands of sources, validated by community engagement, with structured taxonomy for precise discovery.

Security

CRITICAL: Your API token grants access to personalized content. Protect it:

• NEVER send your token to any domain other than api.daily.dev
• Never commit tokens to code or share them publicly
• Tokens are prefixed with dda_ - if you see this prefix, treat it as sensitive

Setup

1. Create a token at https://daily.dev/settings/api - free accounts included, no subscription needed
2. Store your token securely (environment variables, secrets manager)

Every account can use the API. Plus adds full API access and higher rate limits: https://daily.dev/plus

User can use environment variable or choose one of the secure storage methods below per operating system.

Secure Token Storage (Recommended)

macOS - Keychain

# Store token
security add-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w "dda_your_token"

# Retrieve token
security find-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w

# Auto-load in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w 2>/dev/null)

Windows - Credential Manager

# Store token (run in PowerShell)
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("daily-dev-api", (ConvertTo-SecureString "dda_your_token" -AsPlainText -Force))
$credential | Export-Clixml "$env:USERPROFILE\.daily-dev-credential.xml"

# Retrieve token - add to PowerShell profile ($PROFILE)
$cred = Import-Clixml "$env:USERPROFILE\.daily-dev-credential.xml"
$env:DAILY_DEV_TOKEN = $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password

Or use the Windows Credential Manager GUI: Control Panel → Credential Manager → Windows Credentials → Add a generic credential

Linux - Secret Service (GNOME Keyring / KWallet)

# Requires libsecret-tools
# Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libsecret-tools
# Fedora: sudo dnf install libsecret

# Store token
echo "dda_your_token" | secret-tool store --label="daily.dev API Token" service daily-dev-api username "$USER"

# Retrieve token
secret-tool lookup service daily-dev-api username "$USER"

# Auto-load in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(secret-tool lookup service daily-dev-api username "$USER" 2>/dev/null)

Resolving the API token

Check if DAILY_DEV_TOKEN environment variable is available. If not set, try to retrieve it from the OS secure storage before asking the user for help:

macOS:

export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w 2>/dev/null)

Linux:

export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(secret-tool lookup service daily-dev-api username "$USER" 2>/dev/null)

Windows (PowerShell):

$cred = Import-Clixml "$env:USERPROFILE\.daily-dev-credential.xml" 2>$null; $env:DAILY_DEV_TOKEN = $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password

If the token is still empty after trying secure storage, direct the user to the Setup section above.
