Hey Matt, I would maybe suggest trying the AJAX Feed API over the gadgets one.
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/reference.html#JSON I personally find it way more stable and reliable then the gadgets version (IMHO). Plus they also have RESTful aspects (probably best for gadgets and less code needed) and can include the XML string also (&output=json/json_xml/xml) http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/reference.html#_intro_fonje I have been using it a lot and am very happy with its stability, but maybe that's just me, you can try it and decide for yourself. :) Just a quick snoop at the first link; author The feed author. Corresponds to the <name> element for the author in Atom. So maybe try using the ATOM feed for groups over the RSS if its a problem. Also, I know the first link does not show the author for the entries, but the RESTful data (raw JSON) does. (#_intro_fonje), Worst case scenario the XML string will give you all the data (&output=json_xml/ xml). But, you can check out this link below to see the author data in JSON format (,"author":"Matt (Guru)",) http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&q=http%3A%2F%2Fgroups.google.com%2Fgroup%2FGoogle-Gadgets-API%2Ffeed%2Fatom_v1_0_msgs.xml Hope that helps, Vision Jinx On Apr 29, 2:35 pm, "Matt (Guru)" <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been frustrated many times that _IG_FetchFeedAsJSON doesn't read > the <author> tag and put it into the JSON. > Is there any good reason for this?
