I wrote an RSS Reader and wrote an article about it here at CP:
FreedReadR: RSS Reader Created With AngularJS[^]
Today, it stopped working.
When my RSS Reader goes to call:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&num=50&callback=JSON_CALLBACK&q=[^]

Then, I get a file called unicorn.txt which states:

/* callback */JSON_CALLBACK({"responseData": null, "responseDetails": "This API is no longer available.", "responseStatus": 403})

Aww...man!

EDIT: Okay, I think I found the replacement API at:
https://developers.google.com/feed/v1/devguide[^]
Now, for research. My FreedReadR app is down. Frown | :(

Edit 2
The joke is on me. That alternate API is also deprecated.
I guess I'm going to have to write the RSS (XML blech! Dead | X|

) parsing routine myself to get it going. Dead | X|

Blech!

Well, since unicorns are a mythical beast that can only be tamed by the gentle and pensive abilities of a maiden[^], I guess you'll have to find a maiden to help you with the programming. Wink | ;)

look up the word maiden...
example: Maiden voyage -- the first voyage.
So, you are correct.

Indeed, but as Sander pointed out with the term "maiden", which I decided to you instead of the term virgin so as to be, well, more PC (Poetically Clifton???)

A quick search gave me 5865 possibilities...
So, you have two options: add a clue or face the list! Laugh | :laugh:

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

He won't add one until you post at least 4 or 5 guesses from those possibilities Laugh | :laugh:

It still requires effort, searching the list on google, copying and then pasting it here. It really is an effort. so... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

He often does not respond the guesses for a time being, then started responding them when he gets a lot of hell wild guesses and perhaps when it becomes impossible for him to bear them Laugh | :laugh:

That's what I observed Smile | :)

And look he still hasn't added any clue. We gotta go with just 12345678 D'Oh! | :doh:

Well, yeah that's quite possible. Let's ask him why does he do this to us, once he shows up here Wink | ;)
