Automating Word Counts and Slugs With the FreeDailyPro API: A 10-Minute Example
Automate word count and slugs with FreeDailyPro API. Concrete 10-minute example for developers; see /developers.
FreeDailyPro.com -- The September API and MCP launch covered the map. This post is a single trail: call word-count style analysis and slug generation patterns from code in about ten minutes. Start at the developers page for keys, docs, and current endpoint details.
Why these two operations
Word counts gate editorial SLAs. Slugs gate CMS uniqueness. Both are boring, frequent, and easy to automate. The browser Word Counter remains the no-code equivalent when you do not want to write a script.
Ten-minute shape
1. Create or copy an API key from the developers flow. 2. Read the current REST docs for text analysis endpoints you need. 3. Send a small POST with sample prose. 4. Parse word and character counts from JSON. 5. Generate a slug from the title field using the documented slug helper or your own normalization if that lives client-side. 6. Log results and handle non-2xx cleanly.
Exact paths and payloads change with docs — always copy from developers rather than from a blog that might lag.
MCP note
If your agent stack speaks MCP, FreeDailyPro's registry entry exists for tool access from agents. This example stays REST-simple on purpose so a human developer can finish without an agent runtime.
Limits
Free tiers have call caps. Do not scrape. Do not send secrets you would not store in logs. Browser Word Counter is enough for one-off edits; API is for pipelines.
Result
A script that prints counts and a slug for each draft folder is a real automation win. Keep it small, test with fixtures, and read the live developers docs whenever signatures change.
Practical depth that usually gets skipped
Most mistakes happen after the tool works. People close the tab without saving, send the wrong export, or trust a first result without changing one input to see sensitivity. Build a tiny habit: export, rename with a date, and re-run once with a slightly worse assumption.
If you share results with someone else, include the inputs, not only the outputs. A monthly savings number without the tuition target is trivia. A similarity percentage without the two texts is noise. A merge without the clip order is a future argument.
FreeDailyPro is designed so these jobs stay in the browser with low ceremony. That only helps if you treat the output as a work product. Save it. Label it. Move on with a clearer decision than you had before you opened the tool.
When the stakes are high, do a second pass the next morning. Fatigue makes people accept bad numbers and bad files. A second pass is cheaper than shipping a mistake.
