Announcing turndown of the Google Feed API on September 29 2016
Posted by Dan Ciruli, Product Manager, Google
Cloud Platform Team
The Google Feed API was one of Google’s original AJAX APIs, first
announced in 2007. It had a good run. However, interest and use of the API has
waned over time, and it is running on API infrastructure that is now two
generations old at Google.
Along with many of our other free APIs, in
April 2012, we announced that we would be deprecating it in three years time.
As of April 2015, the deprecation period has elapsed. While we have continued
to operate the API in the interim, it is now time to announce the turndown.
As a final courtesy to developers, we plan to
operate the API until September 29,
2016, when Google Feed API will cease operation. Please ensure that
your application is no longer using this API by then.
Google appreciates how important APIs and
developer trust are and we do not take decisions like this one lightly. We
remain committed to providing great services and being open and communicative
about their statuses.
For those developers who find RSS an essential
part of their workflow, there are commercial alternatives that may well fit
your use case very well.
