How to cite us

Language editions
The Last Daily has a central English publication and localized international editions. Edition sites expose their own public pages and feeds. Use the edition's canonical URL when citing translated or localized material; do not silently merge different language versions into one quotation.
Open by design
These public surfaces are read-only. They do not expose newsroom controls, unpublished drafts, private source packets, credentials or reader identity. We do not require an API key for normal public reading, and we do not block ordinary search or agent discovery.
For a compact machine-oriented index, see llms.txt. For a full reading pack, see llms-full.txt.
Measurement and responsible access
We measure aggregate article discovery and reading signals, including agent referrals, to understand whether open distribution reaches readers. We do not use this public access layer to identify individual readers. Please cache responses, respect HTTP status codes and link back rather than copying entire articles into another service.
