No Jewish or Christian groups regard this text as canonical or as authoritative scripture.
[1] The canonical Book of Daniel has much apocalyptic imagery, and this apocalyptic-style text deals with a similar subject, describing one particular vision of Daniel regarding the appearance and activities of the Antichrist before the Day of Judgement.
The Apocalypse of Daniel has been written in Greek in the Byzantine Empire about the early years of the ninth century AD.
The first one (chapters 1–7) recounts under the form of a prediction (vaticinium ex eventu) the Byzantine–Arab War of the eighth century and the enthronement of Charlemagne.
The remaining chapters (8-14) describe the origin and personal characteristics of the Antichrist.
