Hi,
I have what appears to be a unique use for FeedAPI. I want to use it to import search queries, which is simple enough if the user grabs an RSS feed from the search source.
For example, I can manually search http://search.twitter.com for "drupal", and subscribe to the feed http://search.twitter.com/search?q=drupal. What I'd like to be able to do, however, is create a content field for search terms, which would be programmatically inserted into an appropriate search query, and the feed for that query used for the FeedAPI URL. In other words, I'd like the user to type in "search-this" into a CCK field, hit save, and have FeedAPI automatically pull in a feed for http://search.twitter.com/search?q=search-this.
Anyone seen this? Am I making sense?

Yes, you are making sense. You can solve this in a completely independent module from Feed API. See how a feed node is being created programmatically by reading feedapi_create_node().

FYI, may be of interest: #587496: Programmatic feed creation broken?
