Java

Uses the Java client library

// The BlogId for the http://buzz.blogger.com/ blog.
String BUZZ_BLOG_ID = "2399953";

// The URL path component for a buzz post.
String BUZZ_POST_PATH = "/2012/01/engage-with-your-readers-through.html";

// 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-PostsGetByPath-Snippet/1.0")
	.setHttpRequestInitializer(credential).build();

// The request action.
GetByPath postsGetByPathAction = blogger.posts().getByPath(BUZZ_BLOG_ID);
postsGetByPathAction.setPath(BUZZ_POST_PATH);

// Restrict the result content to just the data we need.
postsGetByPathAction.setFields("content,published,title");

// This step sends the request to the server.
Post post = postsGetByPathAction.execute();

// Now we can navigate the response.
System.out.println("Title: " + post.getTitle());
System.out.println("Published: " + post.getPublished());
System.out.println("Content: " + post.getContent());
