API 4 RSS Is a brand new site that allows you to create one line of code that will write out your full Blog feed. The site started with a user at the Million Dollar Wiki simply wanting their RSS feed displayed on their wiki page.
Now it would have been really easy to create bespoke version for jsut this one person. But what if they wanted to help alot more people? Well why not create a tool they can use so they create their one line of code?
Well that is exactly what happened and now we have API 4 RSS. Simple as that. I have included a sample of the output you get. It is so easy to use. Just enter you RSS URL into the box. then choose from some options for width, how many itesm, character limits, links opening in new windows etc. Then you get one of 2 types of code:
1. A Line of JavaScript code
2. 6 Lines of code for use on a Media Wiki page, eg Million Dollar Wiki.
API4RSS In Their Own Words
API 4 RSS is a very simple tool that allows you to reproduce your or any other RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed as HTML using our JavaScript API. Once you have used the form on the home page you then instantly get given some code you can use vitually anywhere.
The idea came about when a site I was on had some users that wanted to write out HTML version of some RSS feeds. These people has virtually no knowledge of any web programming languages. A basic knowledge was about the limit. So I then came up with this tool.
Why API4RSS It Might Be A Killer
There are plenty of uses for it out there. The Million Dollar Wiki is the first one the site was designed for (apart from generic websites). There are alot of people out there that would use it.

Feedburner has a very similar tool. Even though it is not as powerful users may not want to move to an external application.
