If you do a search for your feed you will see the number of readers.

Right now the API is limited to developers building user facing apps. Offering a long term API to other kinds of developers is not a commitment we are ready to make.

The analytics we mentioned in that tweet will be free.

You have yet to open up an API to all your users, with some hidden approval process cloaked behind a google doc form.

One of the reasons I signed up for Feedly coming out of GR was the promise of an API available, a promise that still hasn't been fulfilled.

Have a look at kouio, the app itself uses the public rest API, so it's been available since day one:

What's the issue with using the same user-agent method that's a standard with other feed-readers? Seems like you're doing extra work so that blog authors can also do extra work.
