Re: [bloggerDev] Do you offer access to the blogger firehose of blog posts and comments

Spinn3r is likely doing their own crawling, it's definitely not via a formal relationship with us.

What you're building sounds very interesting, but given our engineering priorities right now I don't see us committing to building out the changes  necessary to build in support for a firehose (or an SLA to ensure it's consistently available). Just not on the top of our priority list right now.

You might want to start with http://www.blogger.com/changes.xml - that may have enough of what you need to know what you need to crawl.

Hi Rick,

First, let me say thank you for the response.  How does spinn3r.com get access to the blogger posts and comments?  Spiders and bots?  Is there anyone I could talk to that would be interested in having a BD discussion on this topic?  What I am doing is aggregating content and categorizing it semantically (themes and concepts).  My solution is not keyword or natural language based, and least 90% accurate in sentiment measures.  I could do spiders and bots, I would just really prefer not to...

Have a great day!

Unfortunately we don't offer a firehose at this time.

Hi,

I am curious to know if there is a program to provide access to all
blogs and comments in real-time through an API.  If possible I'm
hoping to avoid writing bots and spiders.  Please let me know at your
earliest convenience including anything on pricing and terms.

Have a great day!

Cheers,
