Java
Uses the Java client library
String CODE_BLOG_URL = "http://code.blogger.com/";
// Configure the Java API Client for Installed Native App
HttpTransport HTTP_TRANSPORT = new NetHttpTransport();
JsonFactory JSON_FACTORY = new JacksonFactory();
// Configure the Installed App OAuth2 flow.
Credential credential = OAuth2Native.authorize(HTTP_TRANSPORT,
JSON_FACTORY, new LocalServerReceiver(),
Arrays.asList(BloggerScopes.BLOGGER));
// Construct the Blogger API access facade object.
Blogger blogger = Blogger.builder(HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY)
.setApplicationName("Blogger-BlogGetByUrl-Snippet/1.0")
.setHttpRequestInitializer(credential).build();
// The request action object.
GetByUrl blogGetByUrlAction = blogger.blogs().getByUrl();
// Configure which blog URL to look up.
blogGetByUrlAction.setUrl(CODE_BLOG_URL);
// Restrict the result content to just the data we need.
blogGetByUrlAction.setFields("description,name,posts/totalItems,updated");
// This step sends the request to the server.
Blog blog = blogGetByUrlAction.execute();
// Now we can navigate the response.
System.out.println("Name: " + blog.getName());
System.out.println("Description: " + blog.getDescription());
System.out.println("Post Count: " + blog.getPosts().getTotalItems());
System.out.println("Last Updated: " + blog.getUpdated());
