Fever API

Connect Fever-compatible clients to yarr.

yarr supports the Fever API at the /fever endpoint. This lets Fever-compatible third-party clients (e.g. Reeder, Unread) connect to your yarr instance and read your feeds.

Enable the Fever API

The Fever API requires authentication. Set a username and password on your yarr server with the -auth flag (or the YARR_AUTH environment variable):

yarr -auth username:password

Configure a Fever-compatible client

  1. Make sure your yarr server is reachable from the client.
  2. In the client, point it to your yarr server URL plus /fever.
  3. Enter the username and password you configured on the yarr server.

Notes

The Fever API specification is not precise, so server and client implementations can have compatibility issues.

The following apps have been tested with yarr:

Different apps accept different URL formats. Note whether the URL includes the http:// scheme and a trailing /.
