First let me tell you im sorry for all the "Does it count" posts, but I just am so curious on what this means for my skills.
I'm currently addicted to API's, JSON and XML parsing results, etc and I'm building a sort of a portal for my own use to get all the latest news about the world, my country, the economy (stock market), my football club results etc.
What I want to know is on what level does it count being able to get a RSS feed to get data to your website/web app? It's fairly simple since I only do a file_get_contents and a create a SimpleXMLReader object but... maybe it's use is overrated somehow?
What you guys think?
Does RSS feed count as API use? :D

Re: Does RSS feed count as API use? :D
Anything that makes a request on that page counts as a hit if you want it too. Judging from your post you are using 3rd party APIs, so every request you make to their URL counts as -1 in your pool of requests. If you are using more than one 3rd party API, say like 3 different ones from Yahoo or Google, then that's 3 separate hits.
To make it easier, if the page loads, count on it acting as API usage.

Hurray I know API's !!
It's kinda a new world for me, still fresh, and I like to use AJAX to get all the data asynchronous.
