To get started, you should know the name of FeedBurner feed which is generally written after the slash. For example, if the URL of the FeedBurner feed is feeds.feedburner.com/labnol, the feedname is labnol.
Case A: To get the latest subscriber count of a FeedBurner feed, type the following address in your Firefox browser. Alternatively, you can start notepad and paste this web address in the File->Open dialog.
http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=ABC
You’ll see something like this:
Circulation: The count of people who are subscribed to this feed.
Hits: The number of times that feed was requested by different clients on that day.
Reach: The number of people who viewed or clicked the content available in the feed.
Case B: If you like to know the number of feed subscribers on any particular day, just append the dates parameter to the above address. The date should be in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
In this example, lets see how many people subscribed to the labnol feed on April 1.
http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=ABC&dates=2008-04-01
Case C: In this example, you’ll learn how to find the growth / decline in number of feed subscribers over a period of time. For this we need to append two dates to the URL - the start date and the end date.
For example, lets see how the feed circulation count changed during the first ten days of May 2008.
http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=ABC&dates=2008-05-01,2008-05-10
Remember to replace “ABC” with your own feed name.
