Lots of great articles are posted by the crew and a feed to know when and what those are would be great. Resource: /news/ would be awesome along with the sorting above - for example: /news/?api_key="MY KEY"&sort=date_posted&creator=jeff&format=xml - This would return all news, sorted by the date it was posted, created by Jeff Gerstmann. This would allow for apps that could watch the news feeds and keep up to date on when new stuff was posted.
Yup. With Austin cranking out some killer articles, I'd like a better way to get to them!
Yes I would LOVE for this to be added. I currently am using the API for a bot that I have running in IRC on the #GB_Gaming_Hub channel on QuakeNet. It automatically posts site updates and stream information to the channel via /promos/ and /videos/ but the /promos/ never has news in it so there is currently no way to grab news through the API. I wonder if there is a reason it hasn't been added since the original post was almost 6 years ago at this time. I may have to reprogram the entire bot to read from the RSS instead if nothing changes. =/
It would appear that the Community Spotlight doesn't show up in the promos. Is there currently any way through the API to at least find it or is that a bug?
Also in the promos, it would appear that the date_added isn't necessarily the date that it is published. I see that videos does have a date_published, will there ever be a date_published for the promos?
Thanks for taking the time to read my questions =)
