Component body

This project exposes the Google Reader API for use within Drupal. It currently uses the library provided by Dmitrij Duhnich which he has shared here. This module by itself is not very useful. It is intended to be used by other modules.

Background
I was tasked with the requirement of aggregating hundreds of RSS feeds (a few hundred entries a day). Using Feeds was out of the question because of the overhead involved with storing items as nodes with fields (too many db rows per node). We decided to let Google Reader do all of the heavy lifting. Hopefully this will prove useful for some of you. Most will find that using Feeds is more appropriate.

Roadmap

  • *CRITICAL* Implement a OAuth solution for authentication. This will be remain blocker for this project to get a "stable" release
  • Library version detection in implementation of hook_api_libraries_info
  • Some documentation would be nice
