Feedzilla API Specification

Here we describe in detail the "Application Programming Interface" (API) of Feedzilla. Programmers can use the Feedzilla API to make applications, websites, widgets, and other projects that interact with Feedzilla's data.

Getting Started

The following are the topics covered by this document.

Topics


Introduction

General

The API attempts to conform to the design principles of Representational State Transfer (REST).

The API presently supports the following data formats: XML, JSON, and the RSS and Atom syndication formats, with some methods only accepting a subset of these formats.

The following requests a JSON response format by using the "json" extension:

http://api.feedzilla.com/v1/cultures.json

Parameter values should be converted to UTF-8 and URL encoded.

All Feedzilla APIs support an optional return format parameter. Note that json is the default response format. XML is also available. Some endpoints also support a simple txt format.

All Feedzilla APIs support jsonp which is the json format with a callback specified, such as:

.json&callback=callback_method

The application communicating with a resource does not need information concerning firewalls, gateways, proxies or other network devices between the application and the server holding the resource.

All dates will be treated as UTC and their formats must be YYYY-DD-MM.

All published date time objects are UTC based and conform to RFC822.

Response Codes and Error Messages

HTTP Status Codes

The Feedzilla API attempts to return appropriate HTTP status codes for every request.

  • 200 OK: Success!
  • 304 Not Modified: There was no new data to return.
  • 400 Bad Request: The request was invalid. An accompanying error message will explain why.
  • 403 Forbidden: The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why.
  • 404 Not Found: The URI requested is invalid or the resource requested, such as a category, does not exists.
  • 500 Internal Server Error: Something is broken.
  • 502 Bad Gateway: Feedzilla is down or being upgraded.
  • 503 Service Unavailable: The Feedzilla servers are up, but overloaded with requests. Try again later.

Error Messages

When the API returns error messages, it does so in your requested format. For example, an error from an XML method might look like this:

    <error>
        <statuscode>400</statuscode>
        <statusdescription>The specified category was not found</statusdescription>
    </error>

A command line is all you need to use the Feedzilla API

If your system has curl (and it should!), you’ve already got a great way to poke around the Feedzilla API.

Entity-encoded HTML in Title, Description (Summary) and Content

The Title, Description (Summary) and Content fields might contain entity-encoded HTML. To be able to display these fields as HTML they must be entity-decoded.


REST API

I guess a article can belong to more than categories/subcategories. Or is the membership mutually exclusive.

Some queries: 1) As I mentioned in my earlier comment, I guess an article can belong to more than one categories/subcategories. Or is the membership mutually exclusive.

2) If I try to get articles that belong to a category, will it bring only those Articles that belong to none of the sub-categories or can it bring articles that belong to one or more sub-categories. To make my question more clear, Sports can be category with Baseball, Tennis , and Golf as its subcategories. Now if I query for articles belonging to sports category, will I get articles that belong to general sports category only (and not to any of its subcategories) or will I get articles that belong to subcategories as well.

1) An article can of course belong to more than on cat/subcat.

2) you will get general Sports articles.

Is there a way to get images associated with a news article? Some other newsfeed APIs return a property for image url. Is this possible with FeedZilla?? If not, does anyone know any alternative way to do this. Thanks

Looks like the rss xml returned by article search api (example: http://api.feedzilla.com/v1/categories/13/articles.rss?title_only=1") does not contain pubDate or lastBuildDate elements mentioned in the rss specification. In the absence of this element, one has to inspect each and every item to figure out if new articles have been added.

Also , is there a possibility that existing articles are updated over time. If so, will the pubDate element of that item change?

how can I access the content of an article? this http://api.feedzilla.com/v1/articles/search.json?q=Michael returns the 'summary' but not the 'content'. Please advise. Thanks.

Is there a way to specify multiply parameters? I tried: something like: http://api.feedzilla.com/v1/categories.xml?culture_code=au&order=popular

However I am pretty sure that just generates the xml for culture_code: au
