It could be a number of issues. The most likely possible causes in my mind are the following:
(a) the feed is not accessible to Google's servers. This is essential because the Feeds API does not pull the information directly from the server. Rather, it contacts Google's servers, which pull and parse the feed, transform it into a normalized JSON/JavaScript response, and send it back to the client. (b) your server is slow to respond. This can be caused by a number of things, but the most common (in my experience) is latency caused by server processing (i.e., the feed is generated dynamically, and the underlying script takes a moment to run). The Feeds API's crawler has a very short timeout; it doesn't sit around waiting for the feed if it isn't returned almost immediately. (c) the feed is not valid RSS or Atom. At any rate, it's tough for us to say what's happening without being able to see you page and feed. If you could post a link to the page where you're seeing a problem, working or not, we'll take a look. jg On Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 12:52 PM, Vikram Kalmegh <[email protected]>wrote: > I know this is a pretty old post and I could not find a solution anywhere > else and hence posting it here. > > I have been working on the AJAX API's.
