FeedBurner: Burning Feeds on Gasoline - API and Conclusions
(Page 4 of 4 )
We have already talked about the existence of the FeedBurner API. You can find more information regarding this directly from Google Code. Software developers can use the powerful FeedBurner library to access its web services within their applications. This is especially useful for the analytics and statistics plots, as well as the ability to configure one's feed via third party applications (accessing the FeedBurner configurations).
The Awareness API (abbreviated as AwAPI) handles traffic analytics, while the Management API (known as MgmAPI) gives developers the ability to manage their feeds. The final segment of API deals with FeedFlare Links (this API is abbreviated FfAPI). This is a unique feature that works with links, creating custom web services that users can access via links.

There is only one sad piece of news, which has to do with users from mainland China. Feeds that are being generated and published by FeedBurner cannot be accessed from China. This decision was made because it gives users the ability to access the contents of blogs/sites that are blocked (with FeedBurner serving as a third party service) as well as pushing out China's own alternative product, called FeedSky.
