Feedster -- URL Api

Feedster :: URL Api

This document outlines Feedster’s current (and future) URL api.  It was written to address the morass of different url query variables that are currently sprouting like mushrooms within the Feedster code base.

  • q – Search query.

  • output – output

    • what to output for the results of a search
