to Feedly Cloud

Welcome to the Feedly Cloud developer forum.

Feedly offers a set of public APIs, documented here. Make sure you review our terms of service before you start [1].

Most feedly APIs requires an access token. There are two ways to obtain one:

If you just want to test the feedly cloud APIs, or write a script that interacts with your feedly account, you can generate a personal Developer Access Token. These access tokens work on feedly's live platform (cloud.feedly.com), expire after 30 days, and are limited to 250 API requests per day (500 for feedly pro accounts). feedly pro accounts can refresh expired access tokens.
If you intend to build an application or a service that lets others search for feeds, read and save articles etc, you will need to integrate with feedly's OAuth API, and use feedly's development sandbox (sandbox.feedly.com). The authentication client_id and client_secret are posted in a forum topic (look for “Keys to access the development sandbox”). Once your development is complete, follow the instructions to get a production client id and secret.

If your use case is different, please send us a description of your project to devel...@feedly.com.

[1] All APIs are bound by our terms of service, even the ones that don't require an access token. Specifically:

“Application are not allowed to mass import or export information from the feedly cloud without explicit permission.”
