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
source filter
Use Source Filtering to Narrow DayPI Results
May 5 2008 - 09:58 By johnThe DayPI supports a mechanism we call source filtering as a means to limit API results to a specific set of sources, or to eliminate a specified set of sources from returned results.
This recipe describes the two existing methods for invoking source filters in DayPI calls.
In general, source filters can contain either a white list, which ensures that returned results are limited to a specified set of results, or as a black list, which suppresses results from a particular set of sources from return data.
You may include as many as 50 sources in a single source filter
In addition, source filters can be defined in two ways: as a predefined set or as a runtime defined set , which you provide in the context of your DayPI call.
