Is there a way to find if the user has subscribed to a given feed

[Stefan Kyntchev]

When retrieving posts for a given feed, Reader will serve the feed
regardless if the user has subscribed to the feed or not (as long as
the feed URL is valid). If the user has not subscribed to the feed,
all posts come as "Read" which is understandable. I am wondering if
there is anything in the returned feed XML that will let me
distinguish between a feed that is not subscribed to and the feed was
subscribed to but all posts are actually marked as "Read" by the user.

You can use this API endpoint:

Thanks Mihai,

I was hoping to accomplish this with one call (get the posts and at
the same time find if it is subscribed) but if this is not possible, I
will make the second call to API you suggested.

You can also look for the user's reading-list tag being present on
items, all subscriptions have that.

Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you very much Mihai.
