Blogger APIs client libraries

The Blogger APIs is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses.

However, instead of creating HTTP requests and parsing responses manually, you may want to use the Google APIs client libraries. The client libraries provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization.
