NewsGator API and RSS Extensions - Update

If you've used either GetNews or Feeds.aspx to download RSS from the NewsGator API, you may have noticed that some RSS extensions are not supported while some are.

Support for any and all RSS extensions is on our API roadmap, and as they get implemented we'll let you know.  Today we loaded support for slash:comments and GeoRSS.

The NewsGator API now supports and returns the following RSS extensions:

Yahoo Media RSS - Example
iTunes RSS Tags - Example
Simple List Extensions - Example
GeoRSS - Example
slash:comments - Example

These extensions allow your applications to be even more feature rich.  The NewsGator Screen Saver uses Media RSS for it's "Show Pictures Only" feature and the new FeedDemon 2.5 uses most of them for a bunch of cool new features.  Check out Nick Bradbury's release notes.

Like I said, we're constantly evaluating new extensions and adding support for them.  If you see something you would like added that's not there already, send an email to support@newsgator.com and let us know!
