Google feed api

Daniel Buford 9 years ago • updated by David Dierker 4 years ago • 2
I'm trying to add several feeds my mobile site using google's feed api. I've gotten the feed to work and when viewed from the desktop site everything works properly. However, in the mobile site adding the html causes other widgets not to display or to display improperly.
I'm including a copy of the code I'm using. Any ideals would be helpful.

<style>
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
max-width: 620px;
margin: auto;
padding: 0px;
display:block;
float:left
}
#WOTD {
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
}
.gfc-resultsHeader {
display: none;
}</style>

<!-- RSS -->
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>http://www.google.com/jsapi</a>" type="text/javascript">
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("feeds", "1");
function OnLoad() {
var feedControl = new google.feeds.FeedControl();
feedControl.addFeed("http://wordsmith.org/awad/rss1.xml");
feedControl.setLinkTarget("google.feeds.LINK_TARGET_BLANK");
feedControl.setNumEntries(1);
feedControl.draw(document.getElementById("WOTD"));
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
</script>
<!-- RSS END -->

<div data-role="header" data-theme="b" class="ui-header ui-bar-b" role="banner">
<h4 style="text-align:left; margin-left:15px" class="ui-title" role="heading" aria-level="1">Word of the day</h4>
</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<!-- RSS FEED START -->
<div id="WOTD">Loading...</div>
<!-- RSS FEED END -->
</div>
Thanks.

Did you ever figure this out?

I think that API is dead. If you web search(aka Google) it you'll see folks say it's deprecated, and they suggest alternatives.

Not to mention if you look at that code all of the references are to URLs that start with http:// if your page is https:// that would load for security reasons.
