Daylife is a perfect fit for our strategy of presenting the best and most tightly focused content, whether it is produced by us at USA TODAY or anywhere else on the Web. It helps us provide our readers with a full 360-degree view of a given topic, and adds depth and richness to niche areas important to our readers and advertisers.- Jeff Webber, SVP, USAToday.com
You guys have what seems like an amazingly powerful and easy to use API, we're pretty excited about playing with it and possibly integrating it with Hubdub. - Tom Griffith, Hubdub.com
It's amazing how simple this is to integrate into django. When a view is creating a page, it just calls a thin wrapper function that I put around the daypi module. - Bracket Boy
I found the Daylife API for PHP really easy to use, and coded something up quickly for my site, Brooklyn and Beyond - Brooklyn & Beyond
This tool makes it really easy to get a quick look or dive in deep thanks to our partner Daylife, who built a comprehensive service that yields up-to-the-minute results - The Washington Post
I was trying to make it work by using Google News RSS feeds but turned out impossible since they don't organize their data in the feeds. I now know its possible with the Daylife API - Akash Xavier
Drupal Module for news headlines blocks and search page
By vineet
Do you want to put the latest news/blogs from all over the world on your site? On a sidebar? On a search page? On any other page?
We have written a very basic drupal module that gets you news from all over the world using the Daylife News APIs. You can download the drupal module here.
Daylife is an online news aggregator that collects and analyzes news from all over the world and has a set of open APIs (http://cookbook.daylfie.com/docs) for anyone to get news content regarding any topic.
In order to use this news module, you need to sign up for an accesskey and shared secret at http://developer.daylife.com/member/register.
This news module gives you 2 things:
a. A news block that shows headlines about any topic. Once you have installed and enabled the module, you can add an iphone news block with the following PHP code:
<?
$block = daylife_block('view',0, "iphone");
$content = $block['content'];
echo $content;
?>
b. A news search page accessible at /search/daylife/. For e.g. at /search/daylife/iphone for iphone news.
