Digg Newsrooms API

[Dave Beckett]

I am pleased to announce that there is a full API for Digg's
Newsrooms. We've been using it to provide support for the IOS Apps
( http://about.digg.com/iphone ) and it's working well for us.

Start at http://developers.digg.com/documentation and read the
newsroom section.

It works the same way as the other Digg APIs. Generally you'll want
to start with newsroom.getTopNewsrooms to get a list of newsrooms,
newsroom.getInfo to get information on an individual newsroom and then
newsroom.getNews to get the list of stories for a particular newsroom
(front page/top news or newswire).

If the calls are authenticated via Digg OAuth you can call
newsroom.follow and newsroom.unfollow for a user. Additionally, if you
make authenticated calls to newsroom.getTopNewsrooms or
newsroom.getInfo then they will return the user 'following' state in
the response.

The default responses are all JSON but you can get back XML and Atom
XML feed formats. In fact this is what has been delivering the feeds
for Newsrooms since launch. Surprise!
