Bloglines Services
Advantages of Using The Bloglines Web Services
There are many advantages to using the BWS, including:
- Bloglines acts as an RSS cache, thereby solving the
'RSS bandwidth problem'.
- All data returned by Bloglines is well-formed RSS 2.0 or OPML,
meaning developers don't have to worry about supporting multiple
syndication formats.
- Access to Bloglines Email Subscriptions and Bloglines Search
Feeds
Develop Applications Using Bloglines
There are many uses for the BWS:
- Desktop aggregator developers can use
these calls to sync aggregators across multiple computers, while at
the same time giving their users access to the most full-featured web-based
aggregator available
- The BWS can be used to develop more advanced
notifiers
- Feed and subscription data can be incorporated into blogs and
other information resources
In addition to the BWS, we also provide several traditional RSS feeds.
Bloglines is committed to open standards.
