There has been no announcement of deprecation - much less discontinuation -
for the Google Feed API that I've seen. However, it should be noted that
the Feed API's TOS explicitly state that the deprecation policy (which says
Google will give three years' notice before discontinuing the service) will
no longer be applicable from April 20, 2015. (I.e., the service may be
discontinued at any time, with or without warning, after that date.)

That said, feeds have always been cached, so there has always been a delay
between an update of the live feed and such updates appearing via the Feed
API. If you would like to ensure the freshest available content, the
quickest and easiest workaround is to add a cache-busting parameter to the
end of your feed URL, as in the JS example below:

var url = 'http://www.mysite.com/path/to/my/feed.rss?nocache=' + (new
Date).getTime();

This will almost ensure a unique feed url every time you request the feed,
and so the API's backend will go crawl the feed as though it was new.

Of course, this could also introduce the possibility - particularly if your
server is slow in returning the feed - that the API times out and returns
an error about being unable to fetch the feed. So you'll want to make sure
you have logic to handle that and send the same request a second time if
necessary.
