How people can use it
You can use these feeds and endpoints to build readers, topic dashboards, research tools, newsletters, alerting systems, monitoring scripts, archive helpers, newsroom dashboards, curated link pages that point back to the original reporting, and live-update monitors for developing stories.
The cleanest pattern is to pull from /api/latest, store the slug, and then request the full story from /api/story/{slug} when needed. For rolling coverage, pull from /api/live.cfm and then request a specific timeline with /api/liveTopic.cfm?slug={slug}.
Attribution required
Any use of our content must include clear attribution to The Daily Fuckup and a direct link back to the original story URL.
You may quote, summarize, index, or display linked story data in a feed, app, reader, or aggregation tool, but you may not remove attribution, pretend the reporting is your own, or republish full stories as substitute originals without permission.
Good examples
- A news reader that shows our headline, summary, and original link.
- A political tracker that groups stories by section or topic and links back to us.
- A research project or archive tool that indexes story metadata with source attribution.
- A newsletter or digest that quotes briefly, attributes clearly, and links to the original story.
Not allowed
- Republishing full stories without permission.
- Removing or hiding attribution.
- Reframing our original reporting as if another site produced it.
- Using the endpoints in a way that harms site performance or availability.
