Getting Blogger data


Blogger is a blog publishing service that was bought by Google in the year 2003 and it has more than 500,000 blogs. Blogger provides numerous APIs to access the data, provided you have the API key and know some required data such as the blog ID, user ID, and post ID based on the data that you are trying to access.

In order to get the API key, one has to create a project in the Google developer's console. Here's the screenshot of the Google developer's console:

On opening the console, create a new project, open it and click on the link APIs &auth, select the credential, look to see if any client IDs and client keys are available, and if not then create one. On creation, you will be provided with a client ID and an API key that can be used to access the data.

To know about the various data that can be accessed, visit https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/blogger/v3/. This link has a list of services. Let's check out a few to understand how it would work.
