No official API. An agent should not scrape the site: use it by hand.

Credit 'Science Daily' as the source and link each item straight to the full story; no framing or interstitials
Do not publish full text, edit feed text, reuse images, or place ads targeted at the RSS content
Do not store beyond ~40 items or enter content into a database without written consent

Paste into your agent: Read https://agentgid.com/resources/sciencedaily/agent.md before using ScienceDaily.

What you can build

A 'today in science' sidebar or newsletter block fed live from a topic RSS feed, linking to full stories
A topic-filtered feed reader (e.g. space, climate) that shows headlines and summaries without storing them
