JSON-Api for tt-rss

[t-8ch]

Since tt-rss v1.6.0 (released on 19.10.2012) it doesn't support the old GET based API anymore. The recommended way is now JSON.

Using current master (b7f4631fbf) with the new tt-rss make newsbeuter hangs on:

Loading URLs from Tiny Tiny RSS

Messages in log:

If you need a tt-rss instance to do debugging I would be glad to provide one.

This is indeed a pity and I do think tt-rss was wrong to completely cut this API off (edit: I stand corrected, this support has been marked as obsolete for some time now) but now that it has, I hope newsbeuter can start using JSON too. At my side, I can't update tt-rss until then :(

I just wrote a patch (skinner33/newsbeuter@b6957af774a0cb49fcb08c7e25cdafb1e8feed3e) which moves newsbeuter to the new api.

The basic functionality seams to be given, although feeds from the category "uncategorized" appear twice. I will check tomorrow if this is a bug in the patch or the API.

The patch works great. Tested on my updated 1.6.1 install of tt-rss. Thanks!

Works for me too, thanks @skinner33 and @akrennmair! Closing this.
