I just added a new REST call for the FeedLand server — getriverfromreadinglist.
It takes one parameter, the URL of a reading list.
It must be one of the reading lists the server knows about, someone must have already subscribed to it.
It returns a river structure with items from the feeds in the list, reverse chronologic and grouped by feed.
I’m really excited about this call. We already have lots of getriverfrom APIs. But reading lists are fantastic packages, we see them coming up as unifying and simplifying structures.
Specifically I am going to do the new Art Show app using this call. It’s exactly the information the app needs from FeedLand.
Here’s an example of the call it’s likely to make.

Note that at this instant the software is only installed on feedland.org.
