# FreshRSS - Google Reader compatible API implementation
|
||
|
||
See [Mobile access](../users/06_Mobile_access.md) for general aspects of API access.
|
||
|
||
See also the [page about our Fever compatible API](06_Fever_API.md) for another possibility (less powerful).
|
||
|
||
## RSS clients
|
||
|
||
There are many RSS clients that support the Fever API, but they might understand the API a bit differently.
|
||
If your favourite client doesn’t work properly with this API, please create an issue and we’ll have a look.
|
||
But we can **only** do that for free clients.
|
||
|
||
## Usage & Authentication
|
||
|
||
Before you can start using this API, you have to enable and setup API access, which is [documented here](../users/06_Mobile_access.md),
|
||
and then reset the user’s API password.
|
||
|
||
Then point your mobile application to the `greader.php` address (e.g. `https://freshrss.example.net/api/greader.php`).
|
||
|
||
## Compatible clients
|
||
|
||
1. On the same FreshRSS API page, note the address given under “Your API address”, like `https://freshrss.example.net/api/greader.php`
|
||
2. Type the API address in a client, together with your FreshRSS username, and the corresponding special API password.

### Synchronisation strategy
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ If you are maintaining a client or planning to develop a new one, please read carefully the following pieces of advice,
|
||
as many clients start by having a very inneficient synchronisation strategy.
