Re: Feed API newbie having trouble

[Jeremy Geerdes]

You are correct in that the Feeds API does not require a key. However, it is encouraged that you utilize one.

As for the error you're seeing, I would offer two observations. First, the Feeds API is currently experiencing issues, so your problem may stem from that. The team is aware of the problem and (presumably) working on it. And the second is that, if it is an issue with your code, it's extremely difficult for us to diagnose the issue and/or make solutions without being able to see exactly what you're working with. Please provide a link to your page, working or not, and we'll take a look.

I manage a static site for a customer who uses Blogger for news. I want to include the latest Blogger article title in the static site with a "read more" link. I believe the Feed API will let me do this.

I have looked at the documentation and it seems that an API key is not required, is that correct? The documentation says that I simply need to call the API like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>. 

I ask the question because part of my learning process took me to this page: 

http://jquery.malsup.com/gfeed/ 

which suggests the call looks like this: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=[your API key]"></script>

Another puzzle for me is that I visited the code playground page and selected Blogger/Posts/Retrieve Post from the left menu and entered the URL of the blog I am working with. The result was perfect. However, when I used a cut-n-paste to create exactly the same HTML page locally, the result I get is:

entry 304 from 2013-02-13T17:20:50Z

entry 303 from 2013-02-13T17:19:46Z

entry 302 from 2013-02-13T17:18:41Z

entry 301 from 2013-02-13T17:17:30Z

I have made no changes to the code I lifted from the Code Playground...I guess I'm missing something really obvious.

Hope someone can shine some light on the situation for me.

Thanks

Re the API key, thanks for letting me know.

Re the error, it was my own mistake. As my message was still awaiting moderation, I tried to message the owner of this forum to withdraw it but although my connection was fine, I got an error message that my message could not be sent (tried twice). The contact form allows no checking nor editing of the recipients address as you're probably aware. Sorry for the trouble and I appreciate your consideration.
