You can use the REST version of the API:
http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/svc/Subscription.aspx/<locationname>/headlines

from the docs (http://www.newsgator.com/ngs/api/NewsGatorRESTAPI.pdf):

GET – returns the content for the subscription list in a “River of News” style format.
locationname – specify the location to retrieve headlines for

hth,

There's no real easy way to do that right now. You can call GetUpdates with the last sync token which will return you a list of feed ID's that have new content. Then you'll need to call GetNews or Feeds.aspx/[feedId] to retrieve each feed individually.

I like the idea though of having a call that just returns an RSS feed of all of your new items no matter what feed they're in... so I added a feature request for it :-)

I want to get latest updates for a specific user, based on the feeds he is subscribed too, the API allows to get latest updates for a specific feed what I want is to get the last 10 updates to all the contents the user is subscribed too. Any suggestion as to how to go about it?
