The FeedBurner Awareness API (AwAPI) allows publishers of FeedBurner feeds to reuse the detailed traffic statistics we capture for any of their feeds. Third-party applications and web services that consume feeds can leverage this data to provide useful feed awareness statistics to potential subscribers. FeedBurner captures traffic data at an overall level for every feed. Feeds that use our free FeedBurner Stats PRO item view tracking have access to much more detailed data at the individual item level. This data includes "resyndication" information, which is very useful for determining where and how a feed is being consumed.
Feed Awareness describes the extent and frequency with which a publisher's feed and its content items are consumed, clicked on, and referred to by independent sources (i.e., "syndicated").
The following data characterizes Feed Awareness:
The reports and charts you see when using The FeedBurner website are based on the same data. Using AwAPI, you can create your own analysis and tracking applications. It's your data. Display it your way!
Do you currently use FeedCount to publicize your feed’s circulation? If so, AwAPI is already active for that feed. If you want to continue using FeedCount but do not want to permit any AwAPI access to your feed's traffic data, uncheck “Activate Awareness API for my feed” as described on the main Developers page.
The folks at Podfeed.net are using AwAPI to display circulation data about podcast feeds. Podfeed uses GetFeedData (with the feed URI passed as an argument) within their ASP-based pages fetches the current circulation from FeedBurner each time the page is requested by a user.
Paul Kedrosky has written a script that publishes feed stats via RSS. Supply your FeedBurner URI as an argument to http://www.kedrosky.com/cgi/fb-stats.cgi?n=FeedURI, then subscribe to the feed it returns in any newsreader. (But please honor Paul’s request to not “beat the tar out of this.”)
In AwAPI calls, date ranges may be expressed as follows:
YYYY-MM-DD Date ranges are expressed with a comma: YYYY-MM-D1, YYYY-MM-D7 means all dates between and including D1 and D7 If a range is specified, the second date must always be later than the first date A single date will be interpreted as a range of one date: YYYY-MM-D1 = YYYY-MM-D1, YYYY-MM-D1 Discrete ranges are separated by a slash: YYYY-MM-D1/YYYY-MM-D5/YYYY-MM-D7,YYYY-MM-D14 means D1 and D5 and all dates between and including D7 and D14. Multiple discrete ranges may also be provided by using multiple date parameters in a single GET request. If no date is specified, Yesterday's date is assumed. "Current" is always yesterday's data. "Live" daily data is not yet available. An individual date starts at 12am CDT (GMT -5) and ends 12am CDT the next day. Custom timezone support is not yet available.GET api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=<feeduri>
