Podcast info call

cfletcher opened this issue · comments

Is it possible to implement an api call to retrieve podcast info?
I'm a user of gReader on android(by nionnion) which supports additional features for podcast feeds such as retrieval for offline listening. After a conversation with nionnion I believe this depended on an api call which google reader supported but which the old reader does not.
Hopefully nionnion can provide some more details of the data required.

@noinnion, could you please point me on documentation how item enclosure data should be added to API?

Look at this site:
http://blog.martindoms.com/2009/10/16/using-the-google-reader-api-part-2/

Under "feed/[feedurl]"
You should return item with an enclosure element:
"enclosure":
[
{
"href":"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/astronomycast/~5/4TPW83-0h4Y/AstroCast-090921.mp3",
"type":"audio/mpeg","length":"17610000"
}
],

Yeah, thanks. But what about atom output?

Anyway, I've added this to json output and changes are already live. Thanks @cfletcher for reporting!
