Anyone know the http request in order to find the subscriber count for a subscription? Something similar to http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/unread-count?all=true must exist for subscribers, no?

This is what Reader uses to fill in the data in the "show details" UI for a particular feeed:

http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/stream/details?s=feed/http://blog.stackoverflow.com/feed/&output=json&fetchTrends=false

Specifically, you'd want the "subscribers" property in the JSON output. The general format for the "s" parameter is feed/". Note that it requires authentication.
