Google Search Appliance: Administrative API Developer’s Guide: Protocol 15
Note: To get information about all feeds, specify a query to get the feedDataSource value. Alternatively,
you can get all the feeds if you do not supply a query. Whether or not you supply a query, you can get
information about at most five feeds for each feedDataSource value.
To get information about individual feeds from a search appliance, send an authenticated GET request
to the feed feed URL:
http://Search_Appliance:8000/feeds/feed/Feed_File_ID
The result is an entry that includes current values for an individual feed:
<?xml version=’1.0’ encoding=’UTF-8’?>
<entry xmlns=’http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom’
xmlns:gsa=’http://schemas.google.com/gsa/2007’>

<gsa:content name=’feedState’>4</gsa:content>
<gsa:content name=’feedTime’>1229071883000</gsa:content>
</entry>
Note: The feed log of each data source feed can only be retrieved as an individual feed.
Deleting a Data Source Feed
To delete a data source feed from a search appliance, you must delete one of its individual feed files by
sending an authenticated PUT request to the feed feed URL:
http://Search_Appliance:8000/feeds/feed/Feed_File_ID
The Feed_File_ID used in this command corresponds to an entryID, as shown in “Retrieving Data
Source Feed Information.” To delete a data source, you must delete one of its feed files.
Use the following XML for the PUT request:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<atom:entry xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:gsa="http://
schemas.google.com/gsa/2007">
<gsa:content name="updateMethod">delete</gsa:content>
</atom:entry>
Note: You can only delete full or incremental feed types. After deleting, the deleted feed name continues
to exist, but has a feed type of DELETED. To remove a feed from existence use the destroy option.
