Yahoo! Widget for Feedburner Circulation and Hits
Someone wrote a cool Feedburner widget for the Yahoo! Widget Engine. If your Feedburner feed has the awareness API turned on, this widget will show your circulation and hits, polled on a configurable timer.
From my experience, the circulation count is updated only once a day but I’m not sure about the “Hits” number.
The widget uses the new XMLHttpRequest capabilities of the Yahoo! Widget Engine (available when Yahoo! came out with version 3.0, I think).
The request is simple, you issue a GET request for:
http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=primordialooze
and you get back this simple response:
<rsp stat="ok">
<!--

<feed id="29532" uri="PrimordialOoze">
<entry date="2006-06-25" circulation="45" hits="214"/>
</feed>
</rsp>
