You can now group multiple DayPI requests into one request using the Batch API. Batch APIs help improve the performance of your application as your application makes only HTTP request to the DayPIs.

You can also download a PHP script to call the Batch API.

News Objects

The DayPI exposes metadata about and connections around a core set of News Objects. These News Objects and their relationships enable developers to build applications that reveal new kinds of information to users and enable users to explore the landscape of news.

Our goal is to enable developers to ask rich questions about news content, and to build applications around those questions and their answers.

The DayPI provides programmers with a web accessible interface to Daylife’s news aggregation and analysis service. By using the DayPI, developers can ask rich questions about the news, and retrieve data that will allow them to build applications around the answers to those questions.

This documentation covers DayPI version 4.6.
