Simple Update Protocol
Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Simple Update Protocol, or SUP, is a protocol developed by FriendFeed to simplify and speed up RSS and Atom feed updates. Updates from services that supported the protocol would appear on FriendFeed within seconds,[1] until support was dropped. These sites include Disqus, Identi.ca, redditScript error: No such module "Unsubst"..[2]
Functioning
SUP introduces SUP feeds, which are lists of RSS and Atom feeds that have updated recently. A feed consumer (like FriendFeed, or a feedreader) can regularly poll a small number of SUP feeds instead of polling each individual feed.[1]
RSS and Atom feeds are identified in SUP feeds by an opaque, unique identifier derived from their URL. This allows a SUP feed to index private feeds without revealing their URL.[1]
SUP feeds are intended to be managed by services that publish large amounts of RSS and Atom feeds,[3] though FriendFeed also hosted a public SUP feed which anyone could post updates to.[4] The mechanism for posting updates to a public SUP feed is not standardised.
Past Support
- Brightkite supported SUP[1] but was itself shutdown in April 2012.
- YouTube's API v2.0 supported SUP,[5] but that version of the API was deprecated in 2014 and YouTube's SUP feed was eventually shut down. YouTube data API v3 supports PubSubHubbub instead.[6]
