Google Reader API - feed/[FEEDURL]/ is coming back as Not found
- by JustinXXVII
There is one feed I'm subscribed to which always turns up as NOT FOUND when I try to use the API. I return an array of Dictionaries, containing 3 objects. The first in the list represents the user himself, like so:
{
FeedID = "user/MY_UNIQUE_NUMBER/state/com.google/reading-list";
Timestamp = 1273448807271463;
Unread = 59;
}
The Unread count is very important. My client depends on downloading 59 items from Google before it refreshes. If a feed doesn't download properly, the count is off and the client won't update.
An example of a working Feed is here:
{
FeedID = "feed/http://arstechnica.com/index.rssx";
Timestamp = 1273447158484528;
Unread = 13;
}
The FeedID value combines with a specially formatted URL string and gives back a list of articles. The above example works fine. However, the following feed always returns NOT FOUND on Google, and if I paste the URL verbatim into a browser, it never turns up.
See here:
{
FeedID = "feed/http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?feed=rss2";
Timestamp = 1273424138183529;
Unread = 6;
}

If you are at all proficient with the API, can you please help me? Like I said, since Google always says NOT FOUND when I search for that feed, my download count is off by N articles and won't update. I would rather not hack around it, honestly.
Thanks!
