   Putting the finishing touches on the first version of the Fever API. Current focus is primarily consuming and syncing of Fever content. A subsequent version will allow for adding, deleting and editing feeds via the API.

   Yes, I think in PHP arrays and query strings.

   Perfect situation for that code insert I suggested, Dan. ;)

   Crap, I was just putting the finishing touches on an unofficial plugin that served an API. /headdesk

   Shaun, will this support the Hot view?

   The API doesn't support views per se. It's designed to enable applications that will maintain a local cache of Fever's data. So while you can make a request for hot links it is expected that you have a local cache of the related items, parent feeds and favicons (which can be had with a request for feeds or items) required to generate the Hot view.

   So yes. But maybe not the way you'd first expect (but one that makes the most sense for a robust local client.)

   That makes sense, considering the way you already store the data internally. Any beta opportunities?

   I was going to play with it a little over the weekend and then release it with the next update. It's not really user facing so I was going to treat the initial release as a public beta (with the caveat that I'm soliciting feedback and that the API may change to reflect that feedback).

   Stoked to see what comes of this. Are you planning on making a iPhone/iPad client yourself or hoping others use the API for their own?

   A number of people have already expressed interest in tackling a native app. I might eventually but the web version works great for me for now. Besides I've got my hands full with Mimeo!
