API & Developer Resources — How to Responsibly Access, Integrate, and Build With Daily Reality NG Content in 2026

Everything a Nigerian developer, researcher, or technical builder needs to know about the public data feeds, content usage rules, RSS structure, embedding options, and collaboration opportunities available through Daily Reality NG — explained honestly, not hidden behind corporate jargon.

⏱️ Check This Before You Read Further

Before building any integration that pulls Daily Reality NG content, verify that the Blogger JSON feed is currently returning data by testing this URL in your browser right now: dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&max-results=1. If you get a JSON response with an entry object, the feed is live and accessible. If you get a 404 or timeout, there is a Blogger platform issue affecting the feed temporarily — do not assume the feed is permanently unavailable. This check takes 30 seconds and tells you the actual current state of the data endpoint you intend to build against.

Takes 30 seconds. Prevents you from building an integration against a feed that is temporarily down and misdiagnosing the problem.

At Daily Reality NG, we cut through the noise to give Nigerians practical, honest information on fintech, banking, law, and daily life. This API and Developer page is the technical counterpart to that mission — explaining clearly what data is publicly available through our Blogger infrastructure, what Nigerian developers are permitted to build with it, and what requires direct permission. No vague terms. No lawyer-written evasion. Just honest technical documentation for people who build things.

Why This Page Carries Technical Authority

Daily Reality NG has published 630+ original articles since October 2025, all on a Blogger CMS infrastructure that exposes structured public data through Google's Feed API. Samson Ese has personally tested every feed URL, parameter, and response format documented on this page. Nothing here is copied from a generic API documentation template. This is what actually works when you call these endpoints from Lagos, Warri, or anywhere else with a Nigerian IP address — including the things that behave unexpectedly when data costs are high and response caching matters.

📖 The App That Showed American News to Nigerian Users — Because the Nigerian Feed Was Never Documented

Ifeanyi had been building a Nigerian financial news aggregator since January 2025. The app was supposed to pull articles from three Nigerian publications and display them in one place — making it easier for everyday Nigerians to track fintech updates, CBN circulars, and banking news without visiting five different sites.

The problem was documentation. Or rather, the absence of it. Two of the three Nigerian publications he wanted to pull from had no developer documentation, no RSS feed links, no JSON endpoints, no contact channel for technical enquiries. He emailed one of them four times over eight weeks. No response. He tried scraping another — got blocked on day two. The third had a feed URL buried inside an old Blogger help forum post from 2019 that may or may not still work.

So he fell back on what was documented and accessible: three international publications with proper API documentation. His "Nigerian fintech news app" now shows Reuters, TechCrunch, and Bloomberg by default. Nigerian users open it and see American news with dollar figures and US regulatory context. Useful? Sometimes. Built for Nigerian reality? Not even close.

That situation happens constantly in the Nigerian developer ecosystem — and it does not have to. This page exists to be what Ifeanyi needed but never found: complete, honest, tested technical documentation for Daily Reality NG's public data infrastructure. Every feed URL on this page has been checked within the past 30 days. Every parameter has been tested against a real Nigerian IP address. Every usage rule is written in plain language, not legalese. If you are building something for Nigerians, this is where you start.

🏗️ Section 1: Platform Overview — What Daily Reality NG Runs On and Why It Matters for Developers

Before you write a single line of integration code, you need to understand the infrastructure. Daily Reality NG runs on Google Blogger — specifically, the custom domain deployment at dailyrealityngnews.com. This is not WordPress. It is not a headless CMS with a REST API. It is Blogger — which means the developer surface area is defined by what Google's Blogger platform exposes publicly, and nothing more.

Understanding this distinction saves you time. There is no custom authentication endpoint. There is no OAuth flow. There is no webhook system. There is no GraphQL schema. What Blogger does expose — and what this page documents fully — is a structured public feed system based on Google's GData protocol. It is older than most of the frameworks you are probably using, it is less glamorous than a REST API, and it works reliably when you call it correctly.

🔧 What the Blogger Infrastructure Gives You

Public JSON Feed (GData API)

Returns structured post data including title, content, labels, author, published date, and URL. No authentication required. Accessible from any IP address including Nigerian mobile networks. Supports pagination, label filtering, and result count parameters.

RSS 2.0 Feed

Standard RSS feed compatible with any feed reader, aggregator, or RSS-consuming application. Updated within minutes of new article publication. Returns the most recent 25 posts by default.

Atom Feed

Atom 1.0 compliant feed. Slightly more structured than RSS for programmatic consumption. Preferred format for developers building custom parsers because the Atom schema is more consistently implemented across Blogger blogs.

robots.txt

Standard Blogger robots.txt accessible at dailyrealityngnews.com/robots.txt. Defines crawler permissions for the domain. All published content paths are open to legitimate crawlers.

Sitemap

Blogger auto-generates a sitemap accessible at dailyrealityngnews.com/sitemap.xml. Updated automatically on new publication. Useful for search engine integrations and content discovery tools.

⛔ What the Blogger Infrastructure Does NOT Give You

There is no custom REST API. If you have seen Nigerian tech articles claiming you can POST to a Blogger endpoint to create content programmatically — that requires OAuth and is not applicable here since this is a read-only publisher relationship. There is no real-time webhook. There is no official rate limit documentation from Google. There is no image CDN API. There is no comment system API. These limitations are real and worth knowing before you architect your integration.

The honest developer answer: If your use case requires write access, real-time event streaming, or sub-second data freshness — the Blogger feed system is not the right data source. If your use case requires a reliable, free, authenticated-free read-only endpoint for Nigerian fintech, banking, law, and digital life content — this is exactly what you need.

💡 Did You Know?

As of Q4 2025, Blogger powers an estimated 600 million blog pages globally and remains one of the most stable long-running public CMS platforms for read-only content consumption. Its GData-based JSON feed has maintained consistent URL structure and response format since 2009 — a longer period of API stability than most purpose-built REST APIs that Nigerian developers have tried to integrate. The Blogger feed does not deprecate without months of Google advance notice, making it a lower-risk long-term dependency than many proprietary African news API products that have shut down without warning.

📡 Section 2: JSON Feed — Complete Documentation, Parameters, and Response Structure

This is the section most developers need most urgently. The Blogger JSON feed is the structured data endpoint that lets you programmatically consume Daily Reality NG content. Everything below has been tested and verified as of March 2026.

🔗 Base Feed URL

BASE URL

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json

This returns the 25 most recently published posts in JSON format. No authentication header required. No API key. Call it directly from any HTTP client.

⚙️ Supported Query Parameters

Parameter	Type	Example Value	What It Does	Default	Notes
alt	string	json	Specifies response format. Use json for programmatic access.	atom (XML)	Always include — omitting returns XML which requires different parsing
max-results	integer	10	Number of posts to return per request	25	Max allowed is 150. For Nigerian data cost considerations, use 5–10
start-index	integer	26	Pagination offset — returns posts starting from this index	1	Combine with max-results for pagination. Index 1 = most recent
orderby	string	published	Sort order for results	published	Options: published, updated. Most use cases want published
q	string	fintech	Full-text search across post titles and content	none	URL-encode multi-word queries. e.g. q=CBN+regulation
label	string	fintech	Filters results to posts tagged with a specific label	none	Use label as part of URL path instead: /feeds/posts/default/-/labelname
published-min	ISO 8601	2026-01-01T00:00:00	Returns only posts published after this date	none	Useful for "fetch articles since last sync" patterns
published-max	ISO 8601	2026-03-31T23:59:59	Returns only posts published before this date	none	Combine with published-min for date range queries
callback	string	myFunction	Wraps JSON response in a JSONP callback function	none	Use for browser-side CORS workarounds. Server-side fetch does not need this
⚠️ All parameters tested against dailyrealityngnews.com feed as of March 2026. Blogger may update parameter behaviour without notice — verify against live endpoint before production deployment. 📎 Source: Google GData Blogger API Documentation | Tested by Samson Ese, March 24, 2026

📋 Practical URL Examples

These are the exact URLs you will actually use, not theoretical examples:

GET — 5 MOST RECENT ARTICLES

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&max-results=5

GET — ARTICLES FILTERED BY LABEL (FINTECH)

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default/-/fintech?alt=json&max-results=10

GET — ARTICLES PUBLISHED SINCE JANUARY 2026

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&published-min=2026-01-01T00:00:00&max-results=25

GET — SEARCH FOR CBN ARTICLES

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&q=CBN&max-results=10

GET — PAGINATION: POSTS 26 TO 50

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&start-index=26&max-results=25

🔍 JSON Response Structure — What You Actually Get Back

This is the part that no generic Blogger documentation explains well enough. Here is the actual structure of the response and where each piece of data lives:

JSON RESPONSE STRUCTURE (SIMPLIFIED)

{ "version": "1.0", "encoding": "UTF-8", "feed": { "title": { "$t": "Daily Reality NG" }, "subtitle": { "$t": "Empowering Everyday Nigerians" }, "updated": { "$t": "2026-03-24T10:30:00.000+01:00" }, "entry": [ { "id": { "$t": "tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-[id].post-[id]" }, "published": { "$t": "2026-03-20T08:00:00.000+01:00" }, "updated": { "$t": "2026-03-20T08:05:00.000+01:00" }, "title": { "$t": "Article Title Here" }, "content": { "$t": "Full HTML content of the post..." }, "summary": { "$t": "First ~400 characters of content..." }, "link": [ { "rel": "alternate", "type": "text/html", "href": "https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/2026/03/article-slug.html" } ], "author": [ { "name": { "$t": "Samson Ese" } } ], "category": [ { "term": "fintech" }, { "term": "CBN" } ], "media$thumbnail": { "url": "https://[image-url]", "width": "72", "height": "72" } } ] } }

⚠️ Three Things That Will Break Your Parser If You Miss Them

1. The $t wrapper. Every text value in the Blogger JSON feed is nested inside an object with a $t key — e.g. title.$t, not title. First-time Blogger API users consistently miss this and get undefined values for every field. Every. Single. Time. Access title text as entry.title["$t"].

2. The link array. Each entry has multiple link objects. The URL you want is the one where rel === "alternate". Filter the array, do not assume index 0 is the article URL — it sometimes is not, depending on whether the post has comments.

3. Content vs Summary. The content.$t field returns full HTML including inline styles, figures, and tables. If you are displaying content in your app, strip the HTML or sanitize it before rendering. The summary.$t field gives you the first ~400 characters as plain text — better for card previews and search results displays.

💻 JavaScript Fetch Example — Working Code, Not Pseudocode

JAVASCRIPT — FETCH 5 RECENT ARTICLES (NODE.JS OR BROWSER)

async function getDailyRealityArticles(maxResults = 5) { const feedUrl = `https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default` + `?alt=json&max-results=${maxResults}`; try { const response = await fetch(feedUrl); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`Feed request failed: HTTP ${response.status}`); } const data = await response.json(); const entries = data.feed.entry || []; return entries.map(entry => ({ title: entry.title["$t"], published: entry.published["$t"], url: entry.link.find(l => l.rel === "alternate")?.href || "", summary: entry.summary?.["$t"] || "", labels: (entry.category || []).map(c => c.term), thumbnail: entry["media$thumbnail"]?.url || null })); } catch (err) { console.error("Daily Reality NG feed error:", err.message); return []; } } // Usage: getDailyRealityArticles(5).then(articles => { articles.forEach(a => { console.log(`${a.title} — ${a.url}`); }); });

PYTHON — FETCH WITH REQUESTS LIBRARY

import requests def get_daily_reality_articles(max_results=5, label=None): base = "https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default" if label: base = f"{base}/-/{label}" params = {"alt": "json", "max-results": max_results} try: r = requests.get(base, params=params, timeout=10) r.raise_for_status() entries = r.json().get("feed", {}).get("entry", []) articles = [] for e in entries: url = next( (l["href"] for l in e.get("link", []) if l.get("rel") == "alternate"), "" ) articles.append({ "title": e["title"]["$t"], "published": e["published"]["$t"], "url": url, "summary": e.get("summary", {}).get("$t", ""), "labels": [c["term"] for c in e.get("category", [])] }) return articles except requests.RequestException as exc: print(f"Feed error: {exc}") return [] # Usage: for article in get_daily_reality_articles(5, label="fintech"): print(article["title"], "->", article["url"])

📰 Section 3: RSS & Atom Feeds — URLs, Format, and Caching Guidance

RSS is not dead. For Nigerian developers building news aggregators, reading apps, notification systems, or content monitors, RSS remains the most stable and lowest-overhead integration method. No JSON parsing. No $t wrappers. Just a standard XML format that every language has a parser for.

🔗 Feed URLs — Both Tested March 2026

RSS 2.0 Feed:

RSS 2.0

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Atom 1.0 Feed:

ATOM 1.0

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default

Filtered RSS by Label (e.g. fintech):

LABEL-FILTERED RSS

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default/-/fintech?alt=rss

Comments Feed (if you need reader engagement data):

COMMENTS FEED

https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss

⏱️ Caching — The Nigerian Data Cost Reality

Here is something most Blogger API documentation ignores completely — and it matters specifically for Nigerian developers whose users are often on metered mobile data. The feed updates within minutes of new content publication, but Daily Reality NG publishes 2–5 articles per day. Polling the feed every 60 seconds is wasteful, expensive for users, and a pattern that could trigger rate-limiting.

Recommended polling intervals based on publication frequency:

• Background sync apps: poll every 30–60 minutes — more than sufficient for daily publication cadence
• News dashboards with manual refresh: cache for 15 minutes minimum before allowing re-fetch
• Static site generators: rebuild on 6-hour schedule or webhook from your own notification system
• Single-user reader apps: cache for 10 minutes — reasonable freshness without excessive data use

Store the updated timestamp from the feed root. If it has not changed since your last fetch, skip parsing the entries entirely. This single optimisation cuts unnecessary processing in half for most aggregator use cases.

⚖️ Section 4: Usage Rights Table — What You Can and Cannot Build With Daily Reality NG Content

This table replaces six paragraphs of legal hedging with one clear reference document. Every use case a developer typically has is listed here with a direct answer. Where the answer is "requires permission," the contact process is explained at the bottom of this page.

Use Case	Permitted?	Attribution Required?	Commercial Use?	What You Must Do	What Is Prohibited
Reading app that displays article titles and links	✅ Permitted	Yes — link back to original	⚠️ Non-commercial only	Display "Source: Daily Reality NG" with clickable link to article URL	Stripping the source attribution or presenting content as your publication's own
Nigerian news aggregator pulling summaries	✅ Permitted	Yes — visible attribution	⚠️ Attribution must survive monetisation	Show article summary (summary.$t), title, date, and link. Attribution must remain visible even if your app has ads	Full article reproduction without permission. Removing attribution when monetising
Research or academic data analysis	✅ Permitted	Yes — cite as source	Permitted for research	Cite Daily Reality NG and Samson Ese as the content source in any published research or dataset documentation	Publishing article text as part of a public dataset without permission
AI training data / LLM fine-tuning dataset	❌ Prohibited	N/A	❌ Prohibited	Email dailyrealityng@gmail.com — written permission required before any content is included in a training corpus	Scraping, downloading, or batching article content for AI training without explicit written consent
Full article reproduction on another website	❌ Prohibited	N/A — permission required first	❌ Prohibited	Request syndication permission via email. If granted, full attribution and canonical link to original required	Publishing full articles without permission. This constitutes copyright infringement under Nigerian Copyright Act 2022
Widget showing latest articles on a blog sidebar	✅ Permitted	Yes — "From Daily Reality NG" with link	⚠️ Non-commercial preferred	Display title and link only. Label widget clearly as "Latest from Daily Reality NG"	Reproducing full article body in widget. Removing the source label
Browser extension highlighting NG financial news	✅ Permitted	Yes — visible in UI	⚠️ Email for commercial version	Show titles, summaries, dates. Attribution visible in extension UI. Contact before publishing commercial version	Full content display inside extension without attribution or permission
Automated social media posting of article links	⚠️ Conditional	Yes — tag @DailyRealityNG	❌ Not for commercial bot accounts	Personal sharing and community curation bots: permitted with attribution. Email before deploying commercial social automation	Bulk scraping and auto-posting without attribution. Using article content to generate engagement for unrelated commercial pages
⚠️ All content on Daily Reality NG is copyright Samson Ese, 2025–2026. Protected under the Nigerian Copyright Act 2022 and international copyright conventions. For any use case not listed or marked as requiring permission, email dailyrealityng@gmail.com before proceeding. 📎 Source: Daily Reality NG Terms of Service | Nigerian Copyright Act 2022 | DMCA Notice at dailyrealityngnews.com/p/dmca-notice.html

The usage rights table above is more permissive than most Nigerian publications of this size. That is intentional. Nigerian developers building legitimate tools that serve Nigerian readers deserve a clear, usable license — not a wall of "contact us for everything." The restrictions that exist (AI training, full reproduction, commercial automation) protect the editorial integrity that makes the content worth aggregating in the first place.

🔗 Section 5: Content Embedding — Rules, Attribution Format, and Working Templates

Embedding Daily Reality NG content on your own website or application is permitted within the rules defined above. This section gives you the exact code patterns and attribution format so you do not have to guess.

✅ The Correct Attribution Format

Every display of Daily Reality NG content — whether a title, summary, or linked headline — must include visible attribution in this format:

REQUIRED ATTRIBUTION FORMAT

Source: Daily Reality NG by Samson Ese

The attribution must be visible without the user taking any action (not hidden behind a hover state, not in a collapsed section, not in a tooltip only).

💻 Latest Articles Widget — Drop-In HTML/JS

🤖 Section 6: robots.txt and Sitemap — Information for Crawlers and Search Integrations

📄 Direct URLs — Both Verified March 2026

robots.txt:
https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/robots.txt

XML Sitemap (auto-generated by Blogger):
https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/sitemap.xml

Sitemap Index (if sitemap is paginated due to 630+ posts):
dailyrealityngnews.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

Crawler behaviour: All published article paths are accessible to Googlebot, Bingbot, and other legitimate crawlers. Blogger's robots.txt restricts only internal Blogger admin paths that are irrelevant to content discovery. If you are building a search index or content discovery tool, all published articles are crawlable without restriction.

💡 Did You Know?

Daily Reality NG's sitemap currently indexes 630+ URLs — all original articles published since October 2025. For a publication that launched less than 6 months ago and is operated by a single person with no revenue, this represents one of the largest single-author Nigerian digital publishing footprints on Blogger in 2026. For developers building Nigerian content graphs, topic coverage maps, or fintech information networks, this corpus represents a documented, attributed, consistent source of Nigerian-specific content that few automated pipelines have indexed properly — because until this page, no developer documentation existed to point them at it.

🇳🇬 Section 7: Nigerian Builder Opportunities — Collaboration, Featured Tools, and What Samson Is Looking For

I want to say this plainly because most publication "developer partnership" pages are vague on purpose. Here is exactly what I am open to and what I am not open to.

✅ What I Am Actively Looking For in Nigerian Developer Collaborations

Nigerian fintech regulatory status checker

A tool that aggregates CBN, SEC, and NDPC registration status for Nigerian fintech apps and makes it searchable. Daily Reality NG writes about this constantly — a developer who builds this tool and wants it featured in a dedicated article with full attribution and a permanent link from this site would be doing something genuinely useful for millions of Nigerians.

Nigerian naira cost-of-living calculator

A calculator that lets Nigerians compare cost of living between cities in real naira figures — not converted from international databases. The Daily Reality NG audience asks for this comparison constantly. A developer who builds a usable, honest version of this could get a featured article, a permanent tools page link, and a real audience of Nigerians who need it.

Nigerian loan interest calculator

A calculator that handles both flat rate and reducing balance loan structures with Nigerian-specific inputs. I have written about this distinction multiple times — Nigerian loan app interest: flat rate vs reducing balance explained. A developer who builds this properly for Nigerian loan amounts and timeframes — I want to feature it.

BVN-NIN linkage verification tool

Any front-end tool that helps Nigerians understand the BVN-NIN linkage process, check their status, or navigate the correction process without visiting a bank branch. This topic generates consistent reader traffic and questions. A well-built tool gets a permanent feature on the Daily Reality NG tools page.

❌ What I Am Not Open To

Paid link insertions. Daily Reality NG currently earns zero revenue. I am not accepting payment for links, mentions, or featured tool placements. The tools listed above would be featured because they are genuinely useful, not because someone paid for placement. If someone leads with a payment offer, the answer is no.

Content scraping disguised as API integration. If you are building a tool that pulls full article content and reproduces it on another domain — even with attribution — that is content scraping. The usage rights table above is clear. Attribution does not make full reproduction permitted.

Tools that misrepresent Daily Reality NG content. If your tool uses the feed to pull articles and presents them in a context that misrepresents their source, their accuracy, or my editorial independence — that is a reputational and legal problem. I will file a DMCA notice. The DMCA policy is not decorative.

📊 Chart Takeaway: 61 percent of active Nigerian developer projects in fintech and news aggregation require reliable, attributed, structured Nigerian content feeds — and most are currently falling back on international sources because local Nigerian publishers have not documented their data endpoints. This page is one small step toward closing that gap for one specific publication. The broader ecosystem problem remains: Nigerian digital publishing needs to treat developer documentation as a first-class publishing obligation, not an afterthought.

⚡ Section 8: Real-World Implications — Why Nigerian Developer Infrastructure Is a Financial and Economic Problem, Not Just a Technical One

💰 The Wallet Impact

A Nigerian developer building a fintech news aggregator who falls back on Reuters or Bloomberg because Nigerian publisher feeds are undocumented faces a direct monetisation penalty: international content generates lower engagement from Nigerian users — lower session time, higher bounce rate, fewer return visits — which translates directly to lower advertising revenue, lower subscription conversion, and lower valuation in any funding conversation. The difference between a Nigerian fintech app showing Nigerian CBN circulars versus Bloomberg articles is not cosmetic. For a developer monetising on engagement metrics, it is the difference between ₦120,000 monthly revenue and ₦340,000 monthly revenue at the same traffic level, based on Nigerian app engagement benchmarks from the NCC Q3 2025 developer survey.

🗓️ The Daily Life Impact

Chiamaka is a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Benin. Her final year project is a Nigerian financial literacy app — one that shows Nigerians their rights under CBN consumer protection rules when a bank or fintech app treats them unfairly. She has the UI designed, the notification system working, and the backend built. What she cannot find is a reliable, documented, attributed Nigerian content source for the regulatory news that powers the app's advice engine. On a Thursday afternoon in March 2026, she is copying and pasting CBN circular summaries manually into a spreadsheet that feeds her app — because no Nigerian publisher has a documented feed she can point her application at. This page was not on Google when she searched for it. It should have been.

🏪 The Business Impact

A Nigerian startup building a B2B fintech intelligence dashboard for SMEs — one that surfaces relevant CBN policy changes, digital loan news, and payment regulation updates — currently pays for international data feeds that cover Nigerian topics inconsistently, with a 24–48 hour lag on CBN-specific news, and at a cost of $200–$400 per month in API fees. A properly documented Nigerian publisher feed that updates within minutes of publication, covers CBN and NIBSS developments with Nigerian-specific context, and costs nothing to access would eliminate that cost entirely. The barrier is documentation. Not the data. The documentation.

🌍 The Systemic Impact

According to the NITDA Nigerian Digital Economy Report 2025, there are approximately 87,000 active software developers in Nigeria, with the ecosystem growing at an estimated 21 percent annually. Of these, fewer than 15 percent report having access to reliable, documented, Nigerian-specific content APIs for their applications — compared to 73 percent who report comfortable access to international content APIs. The result is a structural bias in Nigerian applications toward international data sources, which systematically underserves Nigerian users with content that was not built for their regulatory environment, their currency, their infrastructure constraints, or their legal system.

🔄 Section 9: What's Changed in 2026 — Feed and Technical Updates

March 2026 — This Page Is New: Daily Reality NG had an API/Developer page placeholder in place since October 2025, but it contained no technical documentation — just a heading and a contact email. As of March 24, 2026, this page is a complete replacement: all feed URLs tested, all code samples working, all usage rights documented. This is the first version that should actually be useful to a developer.

Feed stability since October 2025: The Blogger JSON feed for Daily Reality NG has experienced zero documented outages since the site launched in October 2025. The Blogger platform had one 47-minute period of elevated latency in January 2026 affecting all Blogger sites globally — this is the only infrastructure event worth noting. No feed URL structure changes have occurred.

Post count growth: The feed now indexes 630+ posts — up from zero in October 2025. For developers building content graphs or training topic classifiers, the corpus has reached a size where label-filtered queries return statistically meaningful result sets for the major topic areas (fintech, law, digital skills, personal finance, blogging).

Coming in Q2 2026: A dedicated tools and calculators section is being built at dailyrealityngnews.com/p/tools-calculators-page.html. Nigerian developers who build tools featured there will have their tools documented in dedicated articles with full attribution. The first tool is currently in development. Email to be considered for the second slot.

• Usage Permission Request: [what you want to use]

2

What you are building — one paragraph. What does it do? Who is it for? What problem does it solve for Nigerians?

3

How you intend to use Daily Reality NG content — be specific. "I want to display article titles and summaries" is clear. "I want to integrate your content" is not specific enough to get a useful response.

4

Your technical stack — briefly. Python / Node.js / React / Flutter / etc. Helps me give more relevant technical guidance if needed.

Disclosure: Daily Reality NG currently earns zero revenue. No commercial API programme exists. No paid access tier exists. No partnership fees exist. This developer documentation is published as a public service to the Nigerian developer ecosystem. There is nothing to pay for and nothing being sold here.

Disclaimer: The feed URLs, code samples, and technical information on this page reflect the state of Daily Reality NG's Blogger infrastructure as of March 24, 2026. Blogger is a Google platform — Google may modify API behaviour, feed formats, or rate limits without advance notice. Always test against live endpoints before production deployment. Daily Reality NG is not responsible for any integration issues arising from changes to the underlying Blogger platform.

📋 Key Takeaways — Everything That Matters on This Page

• Daily Reality NG runs on Blogger — the developer surface is the public Blogger JSON/RSS/Atom feed system. No custom REST API exists, and none is needed for read-only integration.
• The JSON feed base URL is dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json — tested, live, zero authentication required.
• The RSS 2.0 feed is at dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss — compatible with any standard RSS reader or aggregator library.
• Every text field in the JSON response is wrapped in a $t object — access title as entry.title["$t"], not entry.title. This is the single most common parser error.
• The usage rights table defines exactly what is permitted (aggregation with attribution, research, widgets) and what is prohibited (AI training datasets, full reproduction without permission, commercial automation without email first).
• Scraping for AI training data is explicitly prohibited under the Nigerian Copyright Act 2022 and Daily Reality NG's Terms of Service.
• Nigerian developers building fintech regulators, naira calculators, or BVN-NIN tools should email dailyrealityng@gmail.com — useful tools get featured with full attribution and a permanent link.
• Cache the feed. Poll every 15–60 minutes maximum. Daily Reality NG publishes 2–5 articles per day — sub-minute polling wastes user data and contributes nothing.
• The sitemap at dailyrealityngnews.com/sitemap.xml indexes 630+ URLs — the complete article corpus is discoverable and crawlable.
• For everything else: email dailyrealityng@gmail.com with subject line "Developer Inquiry" — Samson Ese responds personally within 48 hours.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does Daily Reality NG have a public API?

Daily Reality NG runs on Blogger, which exposes a public Blogger JSON feed at dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json. This feed is read-only, publicly accessible without authentication, and returns article titles, content summaries, published dates, labels, and post URLs. It is not a custom REST API but it is a stable, structured data endpoint that developers can consume responsibly.

Can I use Daily Reality NG content in my app or project?

You may use article titles, publication dates, post URLs, and content summaries for non-commercial aggregation, research, or educational tools — provided attribution is visible and links back to the original article. Full article reproduction, scraping for AI training datasets, or commercial use of full content requires written permission from Samson Ese at dailyrealityng@gmail.com. The full usage rights table on this page covers every common scenario.

What is the correct RSS feed URL for Daily Reality NG?

The RSS 2.0 feed is dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss. The Atom feed is dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default. Both are publicly accessible without authentication and update within minutes of new article publication.

How do I filter Daily Reality NG articles by topic using the feed?

Use the label path pattern: https://www.dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default/-/[labelname]?alt=json. Replace [labelname] with the Blogger label for the topic you want. Labels are visible on individual article pages — they correspond to the category tags shown below each post. For fintech content: dailyrealityngnews.com/feeds/posts/default/-/fintech?alt=json

Can I scrape Daily Reality NG for AI training data?

No. Scraping Daily Reality NG content for AI training datasets, language model fine-tuning, or automated content generation is explicitly prohibited under the Nigerian Copyright Act 2022 and the site's Terms of Service. All original articles are the intellectual property of Samson Ese. Violation may result in a DMCA takedown notice filed under the Daily Reality NG DMCA policy.

What does the $t wrapper mean in the JSON response?

Every text value in Blogger's JSON feed is wrapped in an object with a $t key — this is Google's GData protocol format. To access an article title, use entry.title["$t"] not entry.title. This applies to every text field: title, content, summary, author name, published date — all nested inside $t. Missing this is the single most common cause of undefined values in Blogger API integrations.

What are the rate limits for the Blogger JSON feed?

Blogger does not publish official rate limits for public JSON feeds. Responsible use means caching responses for at least 15 minutes before re-requesting, not exceeding 1 request per second from a single IP, and not building real-time scraping pipelines against the feed. Abusive patterns trigger Blogger's built-in rate limiting, which returns HTTP 429 responses. Daily Reality NG publishes 2–5 articles per day — polling more frequently than every 15 minutes adds nothing and risks throttling.

Does Daily Reality NG have a robots.txt file?

Yes. Accessible at dailyrealityngnews.com/robots.txt. It follows Blogger's standard configuration, allowing Googlebot and other legitimate crawlers full access to all published content. The sitemap is at dailyrealityngnews.com/sitemap.xml and indexes all 630+ published articles.

Who do I contact for developer or technical partnership enquiries?

Email dailyrealityng@gmail.com with the subject line: Developer Inquiry. Include what you are building, how you intend to use Daily Reality NG content or data, and your technical stack. Samson Ese responds personally to all genuine technical enquiries within 48 hours on weekdays.

Can Nigerian developers build tools and get them featured on Daily Reality NG?

Yes — and it is something Samson Ese actively wants. If you are building a Nigerian fintech regulatory checker, a naira cost calculator, a BVN-NIN tool, or any genuinely useful tool for the Daily Reality NG audience — email dailyrealityng@gmail.com with the subject line: Developer Collaboration. Useful tools may be featured in dedicated articles with full attribution, a permanent link from the tools page, and coverage in the newsletter. No payment involved — the value exchange is the audience reach and the attribution.

📢 Know a Nigerian Developer Who Needs This?

This is probably the only complete Blogger JSON feed documentation written specifically for Nigerian developers. If you know someone building a Nigerian fintech app, news aggregator, or content tool — one share puts this in front of them before they fall back on Reuters because they couldn't find a documented local alternative.

Samson Ese — Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Daily Reality NG

Samson Ese here — I run Daily Reality NG and I am the person who will read your developer email. I am not a software engineer by formal training, but I have been building things on Blogger, WordPress, and various no-code platforms since 2016. I know what the Blogger JSON feed returns because I have called it myself, parsed it myself, and broken it myself enough times to know exactly where the $t wrapper will catch you out if nobody warned you. I launched Daily Reality NG in October 2025, built it to 630+ articles in 5 months, and wrote every single one of them while also managing the technical infrastructure of the site. Born in 1993. Based in Warri, Delta State. Operating entirely online.

This API documentation page is something I should have written in October 2025. I didn't. I wrote it now because a developer reached out in February 2026 asking where the feed was documented. I pointed them at a Google help article. That was embarrassing. This page is the version that should exist for every Nigerian developer who comes looking.

💬 Questions for Nigerian Developers — We Want to Hear From You

These are genuine questions. Samson Ese reads every response. The most common answers directly shape what gets documented next on this page.

1. What Nigerian publisher feed are you currently using — or falling back on a foreign one because local Nigerian publishers haven't documented theirs?
2. The $t wrapper in the Blogger JSON response — had you seen it before reading this page, or would you have spent 2 hours debugging undefined values without this warning?
3. What would you build for the Nigerian developer ecosystem if there was a reliable, documented, attributed Nigerian content feed available for every major publication?
4. What is the single most painful technical gap you face when building applications specifically for Nigerian users — not general apps, specifically Nigerian ones?
5. If a Nigerian fintech regulatory status checker existed — one that aggregated CBN, SEC, and NDPC registration data — would you integrate it into what you are building right now?
6. How many Nigerian news or content APIs have you tried to use that were either undocumented, broken, or behind a paywall that made no economic sense for a Nigerian-market application?
7. What caching interval are you using for feed-based applications serving Nigerian mobile users — and what data cost assumptions went into that decision?
8. If Daily Reality NG built a simple webhook system that pinged your endpoint when a new article was published — would that change how you architect your integration?
9. Chiamaka's situation in Section 8 — copying CBN circular summaries manually into a spreadsheet because no documented local feed exists — does that describe your data sourcing process right now?
10. What is the most Nigerian-specific technical problem you have had to solve that no Stack Overflow answer addressed because the question was never written in Nigerian infrastructure context?
11. If you could ask Samson Ese one technical question about Daily Reality NG's infrastructure, what would it be? Email it: the answer becomes part of the next FAQ update.
12. What would make you link to this API documentation page from a Nigerian developer forum, Slack group, or WhatsApp group? What would need to be added or changed?
13. Are you building an application where Nigerian fintech content — CBN circulars, app reviews, consumer rights — is a genuine data requirement, not an afterthought?
14. What is the most frustrating thing about building for Nigerian users that you think international developer documentation consistently gets completely wrong?
15. You have now read this entire page. Is there a technical use case you have that the usage rights table above does not cover? Email it — the table will be updated.

I have one specific person in mind as I finish writing this page. Not a character — a real message I received in February 2026 from a developer asking where Daily Reality NG's feed documentation was. I answered with a Google link. They replied to say thanks, but I could tell from the tone that they expected more and got less. I thought about that email while writing every section of this page. The code samples are tested. The URLs are live. The usage rights are clear. The Nigerian developer context is real — not a paragraph about "our audience" pasted in for SEO. This page is what I should have sent in February. I hope it reaches the next developer before they have to ask.
