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. jg On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 3:30 PM, Peter T <ptari...@gmail.com> wrote: > For the last 7 years, I've been using Google's AJAX Feed service to post > on blogger and then read the feed to my website.
