Create a graph of your FeedBurner circulation data

Using the FeedBurner Awareness API, you can extract the circulation data for a blog for a given period of time. If you do this for f.i. the last year, you can draw a nice graph of how your RSS subscribers have progressed over time.

To do this, you need your FeedBurner name, for instance, for my blog the FeedBurner URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/joostdevalk, and what you need is the last part, which is in bold.

An example graph:

If you want to use this graph on your blog, just include it as an image using the following code:

Having trouble with the graph?

If somehow this graph isn't working for a feed of which you are sure it's a FeedBurner feed, it could very well be that the Awareness API isn't enabled on this feed. To enable it do the following:

• go in to your FeedBurner account;
• select your feed;
• click on Publicize;
• click Awareness API in the menu on the left;
• click on "Activate", the Awareness API is now activated for your feed.
