Re: [bloggerDev] Blog has exceeded rate limit

Bryan,

Have you had a look at the Blog Converters project on code.google.com?

http://code.google.com/p/google-blog-converters-appengine/

It is python code and it produces a compliant blogger import feed from various blogging services. And if it doesn't bug me and I'll fix it. 

It should serve as a reasonable basis for writing an import converter from your django project to blogger.

I'm writing a python program to convert my old blog to blogger.  My
blog software is something that I wrote myself using django.  I tired
generating an atom feed of my old blog with feedburner and then
importing that into blogger, but I got a message that said, "Blogger
does not currently support import files from other blog services."
So, I'm using the gdata python library to do the conversion.  Last
night when testing my python program out, I got this message:

gdata.client.RequestError: Server responded with: 400, Blog has
exceeded rate limit or otherwise requires word verification for new
posts

I understand the need to stop spammers, and so you probably can't do
much to help me, but how slowly do I need to have my program post to
avoid this?  I can put sleeps in between each post and if it takes a
couple days to run even that'll probably be OK (annoying, but OK).
Trial and error to figure out how slow to go is going to be pretty
frustrating though if it takes 24 hours for this rate limit message to
go away.

Or maybe there is a better way to do the blog conversion?

Thanks,

Bryan
