Posts: delete

  • The Blogger API method to delete a post requires authorization and is accessed via a DELETE request to https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/blogId/posts/postId.

  • This method requires specifying the blogId and postId of the post to be deleted as required parameters.

  • Optionally, you can use the useTrash boolean parameter to move live or scheduled posts to trash instead of permanently deleting them.
