Reuters Wire API

[wybiral]

The Reuters RSS feeds are pretty bad (no thumbnails, too much delay, etc) but they have a better JSON API beneath their main content.

URLS:

• Politics: https://wireapi.reuters.com/v3/feed/url/www.reuters.com/politics
• Science: https://wireapi.reuters.com/v3/feed/url/www.reuters.com/news/science
• Technology: https://wireapi.reuters.com/v3/feed/url/www.reuters.com/news/technology
• US: https://wireapi.reuters.com/v3/feed/url/www.reuters.com/news/us
• World: https://wireapi.reuters.com/v3/feed/url/www.reuters.com/news/world
• The Wire: https://wireapi.reuters.com/v3/feed/url/www.reuters.com/theWire

Parameters:

• count: the number of items to return
• since: return stories since a wireitem_id
• until: return stories up to a wireitem_id

This would be much more efficient than RSS if it uses the "since" parameter to only query for new stories every update.

This may be necessary in order to keep Reuters on the list because their RSS feeds are broke now (see: 10d02a4).

Also since posting this issue all of the endpoints have moved to use v5 instead of v3 which means this method could also be a battle to keep up with their live changing internal API.
