I know this may sound rather simple, but I am just not sure. Is there a method for websites to "broadcast" if they have an xml or json feed? Or what is the best way to find these feeds to utilize them in apps?

edit: had worded the API line wrong.

12,216 PointsSorry, I worded that stupidly, you don't have an API or JSON feed. You have an API that delivers you a JSON or XML feed/results set.
