Feedly Opens API to App Developers

In an effort to move from a product to a platform, feedly has opened its API to developers via the feedly cloud. The company has been beta testing its services with developers on readers, vertical enterprise apps, dashboards, integration hubs, and vertical communities. 

The feedly cloud API provides data access to millions of feeds and offers a personalization graph that provides users with categories, feeds, topics, tags, mixes, and more as high level concepts. The feedly cloud allows users to create their graph once and access it across many apps. The same graph can power an iPhone reader, a desktop reader, a phone dashboard application, an auto entertainment system, a profile in someone’s favorite fashion hub, or a profile in an enterprise marketing or purchasing app.

Apps that utilize the service authenticate feedly users using a feedly OAuth 2.0 interface. The result of the authentication is an access token developers can use to authenticate using an authorization header. A user has a profile and a set of preferences associated with the profile that developers can access using the feedly Profile and Preferences modules.
