Issue Summary
Would be great if you could use FeedAPI to mange APIs like Amazon Associates which uses REST (http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/03/17/udell.html)
Could take an arbitrary XML string, parse it, add taxonomy, update nodes, etc.

Subscribing, +1 for Amazon support. Greetings, Martijn

I'm not a programmer, but could help with a spec. I'd be willing to kick in a couple of bucks if someone can make a contribution and maintain. perhaps we can find some more takers?
#4
This is a matter of writing a feedapi parser.
#5
Is that a big deal? I'm a product manager, not a php developer. Would be interested in getting some help with this, but not even sure how to scope it.
#6
Hard to tell how big of a deal this is... depends on what exactly you would like to build.
FeedAPI is designed to help you with pulling data into your system. This can be done with REST obviously. But you can do much more than just that with REST, so FeedAPI might turn out to be not the right choice for what you're having on your mind.
I would recommend to get in touch with a developer and talk through your options.
