#BuzzFeed API
The following 3 endpoints are public. That means: no need for authentication !!
Also if you'd like to access our API from the frontend, all the enpoints support JSONP. Simply append ?jsonp=xyz to the endpoint URL.
##Feeds Get JSON representation of any feed page on buzzfeed.com, i.e. /news, /lol, /bensmith, /life
Examples:
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/feeds/lol
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/feeds/index
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/feeds/omg?p=2
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/feeds/news
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/feeds/bensmith?p=3&jsonp=myCallback
NOTE: Disregard ad_backfill. flow is what contains the actual feed content.
##Articles
Get a JSON representation of a BuzzFeed article. For that you'll need to know the buzz_id of the article, which you can easily find in the object returned by the Feeds API.
Examples:
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/buzz/4032262
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/buzz/4025724
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/buzz/4025724?jsonp=myCallback
NOTE: The body of each article is composed of an array of ordered sub_buzzes. Each sub_buzz has a specific type (see form field). Here are some examples of sub_buzz types text, image, image_group, quiz, tweet, etc.
##Comments
Get a JSON representation of the comments section of a specific article. Like the Articles endpoint, you'll need a buzz_id.
Examples:
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/comments/3243142
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/comments/3243142?p=2
- http://www.buzzfeed.com/api/v2/comments/4019778?jsonp=myCallback
NOTE: Not all BuzzFeed articles have comments! For example, news articles do not.
Enjoy!
