About Feedbin

Feedbin is a REST-style API for the Feedbin RSS reader service, documented in this repository as "Feedbin API V2." It uses HTTP Basic authentication over HTTPS at the base URL https://api.feedbin.com/v2/, and requests that create or update records require a JSON content type.

The API covers subscriptions, entries, unread entries, starred entries, taggings, tags, saved searches, recently read entries, updated entries, icons, imports, and pages. It supports HTTP caching via ETag and Last-Modified headers, pagination for entries (100 items per page, with link headers for first/prev/next/last and a total record count header), and ISO 8601 formatted dates for all timestamps.

This is intended for developers building applications or integrations that interact with a user's Feedbin account, such as feed readers or automation tools that manage subscriptions, entries, and tags programmatically.
