Newsgator releases their API for developers
Newsgator has just released their API. Developers will have access to the following types of services:
- Complete subscription management capabilities
- Subscription synchronization between all products using the API, including NewsGator Online, NewsGator Outlook edition, FeedDemon, and others
- Post-level status synchronization (read/unread/deleted status)
- Bandwidth optimization by downloading only new content
- Community and individual ratings of feed content
Now I can understand the usefulness of releasing the API for middleware like Feedburner’s API, but I don’t understand the benefit for developers or end users of releasing the API for a client application. The only party I see benefiting from this directly is Newsgator itself.
