/**
 * The first thing you need to do is create an instance of the
 * Rooster class. You will need to pass your application key as
 * a constructor parameter.
 * @link http://apidoc.digg.com/ApplicationKeys
 */
Rooster rooster = new Rooster("http://headzoo.com/rooster");
 
/**
 * From here you use the ListStories class to get story information
 * from Digg. You can create a new instance of ListStories and pass the
 * Rooster instance to it's constructor, or you can use the stories()
 * method in the Rooster class, which returns a new instance of
 * ListStories.
 * For the first example, lets just get a list of all stories on Digg.
 */
StoryList stories = null;
 
try {
    stories = rooster.stories().fetchAll();
} catch (DiggRequestException ex) {
    System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
    System.exit(1);
}
for(Story story: stories) {
    System.out.println("Title: " + story.getTitle());
    System.out.println("Status: " + story.getStatus().toString());
    System.out.println("User: " + story.getUser().getName());
    System.out.println("Diggs: " + story.getDiggs());
    System.out.println("Link: " + story.getLink());
    System.out.println("Href: " + story.getHref());
    System.out.println("Container: " + story.getContainer().getName());
    System.out.println("Topic: " + story.getTopic());
    System.out.println(story.getDescription());
    System.out.println();
}

The output will look something like this:
