Google Feeds API not working - Has it been shutdown?

Question

I just opened up my news website that I'm working on this morning and none of the RSS news feeds are being displayed, I went onto the Google Feed Forum to see if there had been anything posted about it and the only thing I found was this.

https://developers.google.com/feed/forum?place=topic%2Fgoogle-ajax-search-api%2FxP6mKdRA6n4%2Fdiscussion

So far there is no official confirmation that it has been shutdown but only speculation that it has been. If it has been shutdown, does that mean that everyone who has been using Google Feeds API up to this point will have to find an alternative? Is there any way we can continue to use it?

Answer 1

there are several treads opened like Real alternative for Google Feed API

I've found http://rss2json.com/api.json?rss_url= and works ok. Doesn't generate the exactly same structure, so you will have to tweak it.

ps: sorry, but i dont have enough rep to post a comment

Use Yahoo's YQL service:

select * from xml where url = 'https://news.ycombinator.com/rss'

It even accepts a callback query string

https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20xml%20where%20url%20%3D%20'https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com%2Frss'&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys&callback=mycallback
