What is the search API?

[Sam]

Looking around the web I've found references to the search API:

http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/search/items?q=Android

But i'm consistently getting a 404 when I try this, is this still
supported or is there another way to search through a users feed?

thanks,
Sam

You're looking for http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/search/items/ids?q=Android (note the trailing /ids).

Once you have item IDs, you can look them up with /reader/api/0/stream/items/contents: http://code.google.com/p/google-reader-api/wiki/ApiStreamItemsContents

This search API needs users to login, right?

[Mihai Parparita]

Yes.

Thanks

I think there is another search API for feeds, right?

Does that need users to login?

[Mihai Parparita]

Yes, that's http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/feed-finder?q=cnn&output=json and it doesn't need authentication.

You can pass in a s= query parameter with a stream ID to restrict the search to. For example, to search only starred items:

http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/search/items/ids?q=Android&s=user/-/state/com.google/starred

To search only the Google Blog: 

http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/search/items/ids?q=Android&s=feed/http://googleblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Hello Mihai,

How can we search inside a particular feed/tag or starred items?

Thanks,
Gaurav
