Java

Uses the Java client library

// The BlogId of a test blog.
String TEST_BLOG_ID = "8070105920543249955";

// The PostId of a post.
String POST_ID = "4883581657838685651";

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

// Construct the patch
Post patch = new Post();
patch.setId(Long.parseLong(POST_ID));
patch.setContent("With really <emph>exciting</emph> <code>HTML</code> content");

// The request action.
Patch postsPatchAction = blogger.posts().patch(TEST_BLOG_ID, POST_ID, patch);

// Restrict the result content to just the data we need.
postsPatchAction.setFields("author/displayName,content,published,title,url");

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