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
List of sources/source IDs?
Daylife team,
It'd be great to have a list of source/ID pairs implemented in Daylife in a parseable format so users could select sources themselves to form a dynamic source filter. Ideally, it'd be a web service so you wouldn't have to post a new file when you add sources, but a snapshot of what you have now would be better than waiting until, say, after the competition ends. I've been trying to use free form source names, but the source_getInfo service is a bit picky as to what names for publications it will accept.
Or I suppose I could poll for a large number of articles and just recurse through article_getRelatedArticles until I got a satisfactory number of news sources.

Source names and Source IDs attached
Autsin,
I have attached an excel file with the list of source names and source IDs to this post. This is an ever growing list of sources and we will provide updates to these files on the cookbook on a periodic basis.
You can either of those to create your dynamic source filters using the source_whitelist or source_blacklist parameters. All values to these parameters must be url-encoded.
Some examples of dynamic source filters are here.
