Greg's Cool [Insert Clever Name] of the Day: Blogger Get's a New API

Blogger Get's a New API

"Alongside yesterday's Blogger Beta launch comes some great news for Blogger API developers — Blogger now has a Google Data API! This means:

There's lots of great sample code in the Blogger/GData doc
Downloadable Client Libraries are provided for both C# and Java developers
Authentication is fully documented for both Installed Applications and Web Apps
Your GData code should be easily reusable across other GData API apps, such as Calendar

..."

Very nice...

I still don't see a way to download/get ALL the posts for a (my) blog for easy backup purposes. But then again I've spent all of 10 minutes looking at the API (I was thinking the Query method might work, no joy)...

Still this is something I'd like to look at in more detail.

But no local blogger publish systems support the gdata blogger api now.

Yeah, I've been seeing that some of the Blogger Beta review posts.

That does take away some of the coolness...
