For assistants and developers

API and machine-readable feeds

Every story on Digest AI is also published as JSON and as plain Markdown, with its canonical address, dates, sources and a ready-made citation. Static files, no key, no sign-up.

Endpoints

/story/<slug>.json — one story, in full: our digest, key points, why it matters, category, names, dates, every source with its outlet and date, how the reports compare, the developing story it belongs to, and a citation. Add .json to any story address.
/story/<slug>.md — the same story as Markdown, the easiest form for a language model to read and quote.
/api/latest.json — the 100 newest stories by first publication, one light row each with a link to the story's JSON.
/api/briefing.json — today's briefing: the five stories that matter, with key points and why they matter, and the also-list.
/api/category/<slug>.json — the 50 newest stories in one category: models, marketing, agents, research, business, policy, hardware, enterprise, robotics, society.

Older stories keep their JSON and Markdown after they leave the front pages; those files are marked "archived": true and carry the headline, digest, key points and sources. For feed readers there is RSS (and one feed per category at /feeds/category/<slug>.xml); llms.txt lists everything.

Story fields

url — the canonical story page. Cite this address. json and markdown point to the other two forms.
headline, summary (Markdown), keyPoints, whyItMatters — written by Digest AI's editorial model from the listed sources.
category (slug, name, url) and entities (companies, models, people named in the story).
firstPublishedAt — when the story first appeared on Digest AI. updatedAt — the newest publication time among the sources it lists, the same date the story page shows as updated. Both ISO 8601, UTC.
sources — each outlet's name, the article title, its address, its publication date, its type (primary, press, newsletter, community) and a primary flag for a lab's, company's, court's or regulator's own document. sourceCount can be higher than the list when a story has many sources.
sourceNotes — where the reports agree and where they differ, when we compared them; otherwise null.
thread — the developing story this belongs to, with its address; discussions — Hacker News and Reddit threads.
cite — a suggested citation (text) and its parts.

The files carry our own writing and links only. Publishers' article text is not included: it belongs to them, so follow the source links to read it.

How to cite

Link the story page and name Digest AI, for example:

Digest AI, "OpenAI launches Astra for Law, a GPT-6 configuration for legal research", 17 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/openai-launches-astra-for-law-a-gpt-6-astra-variant-with-legal-search

When a claim comes from one of the outlets, cite that outlet too; every story lists them with dates. Digests are machine-written and can be wrong, so the sources are the record. Corrections: about/corrections.

Updates, limits and access

Every hour. The site and every file here are rebuilt about once an hour; each index file has a generatedAt time. Fetching more often than every 10 minutes gains nothing (the files are cached for 10 minutes).
No key, no rate limit of our own. These are static files on GitHub Pages. Please be gentle: fetch the index files, then only the stories you need, and identify your client in the User-Agent.
Cross-origin requests work. Every file is served with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so a browser app can read them directly.
Stable addresses. A story keeps its address, and so do its JSON and Markdown. When two stories are merged, the old page redirects to the story that now covers the event, and its JSON is no longer published.
Terms. Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page. Linked articles belong to their publishers. The terms have the details.
