Using Feedburner Awareness API

Feedburner’s Feed Awareness API (read this article at Burning Questions also), allows developers to integrate feed stats to their applications. It gets even better if the feed you are using is a Feedburner “PRO” account. Then you can have views and clicks per item.

Here (look down the page, where this blog is syndicated) is a small example of using the API together with MagpieRSS from PHP. Notice the “views” and “clicks”? They are read using the Awareness API.

The code for the example can be downloaded here: fb_awareness_api_demo.phps.

    doesn’t the feedburner awareness api give the time of the feed item i.e. time when post was published? I mean using the getitemdata method, alongwith the item title, item url and the circulation, hits, dates it should also give the time when the post was posted. Or is there a different way out where I can get the retrieve the time of item posting for feedburner feeds?

    I tried out your fb_awareness_api_demo.phps and it worked to fetch the latest feeds. But what if I want to fetch the previous feed items data and also the time of posts published. Please tell me if you know a way out.

    thanks
