Just saw that NewsGator has released a public API. It’s far more complete than the Bloglines API. You can add / remove / edit subscriptions, mark items as read etc. It seems possible to completely synchronize a desktop feed reader with it. I guess this is a result of FeedDemon’s need to sync with NewsGator. I wonder if FeedDemon uses the exact same API or if it has access to any hidden API calls ;-)
Update: When I wrote this last sentence, I had no intention to imply that FeedDemon uses an hidden calls or anything! It was meant as a joke and my only intention was to praise NewsGator for releasing the full API to their service! I hope no-one misread that.
FeedDemon uses the same API…and I’m pretty sure everything it’s using is documented in the API docs. :-)

Yes I understand that, it was meant as a joke!

Just in case anybody compares the WSDL to the documentation and picks up on this, there *are* a few calls that are not yet documented - Nick asked for several new methods as he was developing FD 1.6 and the documentation lags the actual deployed code in some areas.

I hope my post is not taken the wrong way! I certainly did not imply there are any hidden calls or anything. Now that I think of it I’ll update the post to clarify this.
