Creating RSS feeds for your reviews.

All you prolific reviewers have probably been wondering how to get an RSS feed of your reviews. RSS
Well, this is your opportunity to make it easier for your friends and fans to subscribe to all of your valuable content.

Here's how to create the URL to give to your followers:

http://www.flixster.com/api/v1/users/[flixster username or userid]/ratings.rss?startDate=[date]&endDate=[date]

The URL parameters "startDate" and "endDate" are optional, but if you want to use them the format is "yyyyMMdd" or "yyyyMMddHHmmss". Specifying one or both of the parameters will limit the results to items that are after the startDate and/or before the endDate.

For example, here is my RSS feed for 2009 (username: TestRSS):

http://www.flixster.com/api/v1/users/TestRSS/ratings.rss?startDate=20090101&endDate=20091231

And here is my RSS feed without date restrictions (username: TestRSS):

http://www.flixster.com/api/v1/users/TestRSS/ratings.rss?startDate=&endDate=

Alright, got it? It's just that straightforward!
