Daily News 60s

Pulls daily Chinese news briefs from the 60s API, delivering 15 curated headlines plus a daily quote, updated every 30 minutes. Works well for building morning news bots or chat features that need quick summaries in Chinese. The API is dead simple: no auth required, responses are cached and fast, and you can fetch by specific date or grab the latest. You get JSON by default, but it also outputs markdown, plain text, or even redirects to a pre-formatted image if you want zero parsing. Built by vikiboss, includes lunar calendar dates alongside Gregorian, which is a nice touch for Chinese-speaking audiences. The fact that it auto-falls back to previous days when current data isn't ready yet shows thoughtful design.
