I can try to add it but it may take a few days until I have time. Meanwhile if you can try to add it yourself and let me know if you have questions that may make things faster.

It seems AOL API was discontinued. I have found the documentation to use the API using OAuth but there seems to be no way to create new developer ID to use with OAuth. Did you find any way to create a new developer ID?

Hi Manuel, I've hit the same wall trying to get information from AOL team. Was trying to get developer code/key. Their response :
Hi,
Unfortunately what you are asking is currently not available. We have let the team in charge of the documentation know to update the page and reflect correct information.
Regards,
The AOL Reader Team

There might be a way to do it since some service/sites are doing it. Do you think we could do it through OpenID ?

I am afraid not because OpenID does not require developer ID and secret that OAuth requires.

However you can authentica users with OpenID and obtain some user profile details if that is what you want. It just won't be able to access AOL APIs.

If that would be enough, I have OpenID client and server classes that I have not yet published. Just let me know so I can rush up some documentation with those classes.
