ERROR in YOUR ATOM FEED URL

Because of SSL, authentication works quite different in RSS readers from web browsers…
Here’s a little demonstration on how you would get the XML in visual basic.

[code]
Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO

Public Sub Main()
Dim Client As New WebClient()
Client.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("username","password")
Dim FeedStream As Stream = Client.OpenRead("https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom")
Dim Reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(FeedStream)
Dim TextInXML As String = Reader.ReadToEnd()
Console.Write(TextInXML)
End Sub
[/code]

Works great in Feed Demon with multiple gmail accounts, with a slight modification to the above. If you add feeds for multiple accounts, just slightly change the URL by putting a question mark with a different string after the question mark on each different account feed. Google throws away the question mark and anything after it, but the aggregator (Feed Demon, in this case) sees that’s it’s a different feed and happily scans all of them without complaining.

I’ve never been able to get the feed to work in Google’s own feed reader. Frustrating. Does their feed reader not work with https or passwords or something?

anyone here know how to get a list of my contacts from gmail using the feed? Maybe other folders rather than just the inbox?

Why the hell would anyone spam something like this? Why not a forum or something more practical?

Unfortunately, if you have more than one Gmail account, it changes the description for each feed to the same description and does not properly send one to their proper account.

BTW this not how the google mail notifier works.
It works via the standard HTTP way.

Also btw, the Remember personal info should NOT clear out the data i just entered if i change my mind to not save my info!

Apparently Gmail has changed the URL. It should now point to:

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom

In other words, if it said gmail, change it to mail, and it’ll work. A great addition to my aggregator.

I’ve set up the URL in News Crawler and whatever I do it errors with Can not load SSL library.

What am I doing wrong?

If I click on the link, it asks for my username and password, once I put that in it gives me the XML page, no use to me though. :-(

Hi Stuart

I think we can set the feed to be ‘private’ in Bloglines which probably means nobody else has access to it ?

cheers

If you subscribe to your Inbox using Bloglines does that mean that Bloglines will now be searching your Inbox and allowing other people to subscribe to it?

uhhh it is late the above comment should have read:

I LOVE THIS – Gmail has once again *proved* that this is not your ordinary e-mail account! I use Sage on the new Firefox 1.0PR build and it worked like a charm!

/I will always use preview before posting . . .

It doesn’t work if you’re at the feed location. Also, it won’t work as a live bookmark because it’s not an RSS feed. If you’re using Sage or any other Atom-compatible aggregator, it will work perfectly fine with that.

I got to the page with the xml, but when I tried to subscribe to it with bloglines it said no feed was found. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry if this wasn’t clear… in the post here, where it says “visit site” — that’s the atom feed link. Just put your gmail userid and password in and it loads the XML.

Seems like it just tells you when you have new messages in your inbox.

I had heard about this back when they released the new features like drafts and inline contacts. But have never seen the ATOM button show up on my inbox page.
