Important:
We will discontinue support for the v2.0 Google Data API on September 30th, 2024.
To ensure continued functionality, update your applications that rely on the v2.0 Google
Data API to the latest API version.
For the latest version, use the links in the left-side navbar.
Note: while some GET requests (such as listing posts) will continue to be supported as feed
URLs, there are minor differences in their behavior.
For detailed information, refer to the
Blogger Help documentation.
Google Data client libraries are available to help you write client
applications that use the Blogger Data API.
For each language, the client library provides tools and an abstraction
layer, letting you construct queries and use response data without having to
create HTTP requests or process HTTP responses by hand. Each client library
provides classes that correspond to the elements and data types that the API
uses. Each client library also provides extensions for specific Google
services that have Data APIs.
Java client library
The Java client library is provided by Google
.NET client library
The .NET client library is provided by Google and allows desktop, web and
mobile application development.
PHP client library
The PHP client library is provided by Zend, as part of the Zend
Framework. It is also available as a standalone release.
Python client library
The Python client library is provided by Google and enables development
of command-line, web, and Google App Engine applications.
JavaScript client library
The JavaScript client library provides full read/write capabilities from
within JavaScript. Read-only access is also available via raw JSON.
Objective-C client library
The Objective-C client library enables writing native Cocoa applications
for Mac OS X and now provides support for the iPhone SDK.
External client libraries
The following client libraries are not written by Google and are not supported by Google.
Sample code
A few sample programs that demonstrate how to use the API and the client
libraries, are linked below. Use them to help you get started!
