Overview Blogger API v3 Clause Samples
Overview Blogger API v3. The Blogger API3 v3 is a programming interface to Blogger. It allows client applications to view and update Blogger content. A client application can use Blogger API v3 to create new blog posts, edit or delete existing posts, and query for posts that match particular criteria. It is the latter that is of interest to the NOMAD project for the purpose of data acquisition. The API is organized around the three types of resources mentioned earlier: Blogs, which represent a blog; Posts, which represent a post on a blog; each posts resource is a child of a blogs resource; Comments, which represents a comment on a specific post; each comments resource is a child of a posts resource; Pages which represent a static page; each pages resource is a child of a blogs resource; and Users which represent a non-anonymous user; this resource is used to identify the Author of a page, post, or comment. Each resource has a JSON data representation with a number of fields and one or more methods to obtain this data. Most of the Blogger API follows a RESTful API design which means 3▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/blogger/ that standard HTTP methods can be used to retrieve and manipulate resources. For example, to get the post of a particular blog, one might send an HTTP request like: Version Blogger API v3.0 Data Format JSON Calling styles REST, REST from Javascript, client libraries Authorization protocols OAuth 2.0 / API key Base URI ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/blogger/v3 In what follows we are describing in more details the data and the methods to obtain this data for each one of the three resource types. A detailed description of the data representation for Blogs is available at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/blogger/docs/3.0/reference/blogs#resource. There are three methods to obtain data for Blogs,
(a) get: given a blogID the method retrieves a blog.
