Google Reader API. How do you exchange the URL of an article as opposed to an element identifier?

Question

I did a decent amount of research on the unofficial api reader and sifted through other questions, but none of them had what I want. How to share an article if you know that the article identifier is well documented, but I want to know how to share the article if you do not know the identifier (i.e. How to convert the url identifier → or how to share directly using the URL as a parameter) .

I suppose this is possible, because the functionality pretty much mimics the behavior of the amazing “notes in Reader” that they have.

Thanks!

Note booklet "Note in Reader" finishes sending POST to http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/item/edit with these parameters:

• client : your client id
• T : action token
• url : item url
• title : title (interpreted as plain text)
• snippet : body (interpreted as HTML)
• share : true or false
• tags : an additional tag to apply to the created note, for example. user / - / label / foo (optional, repeat the parameter if you want to add mutliple tags)
• srcUrl : URL of the source site
• srcTitle : name of the source site
