Questions about programmatically using Google Reader (questions regarding regular usage should be posted in https://superuser.com/ instead)

This may be done either via HTTP requests to the Google Reader unofficial (but publicly available) API; or by using specific Google Reader urls to simplify actions on the website or extend functionality (e.g.: browser add-ons).

It is important to highlight, that even though the API is not an official Google API, in most ways it is very stable and well known (it is used by the official Reader sites and clients) and behaves like a public API in terms of the Google authentication system. There is no official API documentation, but there are some good documentation resources in the web, and even some places where it is possible to get answers from Google developers using this:
