[bloggerDev] retrieve blog posts with filter using python gdata client

I have this code:


class Blog(webapp.RequestHandler):
def __init__(self):
categories = ["lang:cs", "news"]
self.client = gdata.blogger.client.BloggerClient()
self.query = gdata.blogger.client.Query(categories=categories,
max_results=10, strict=True, order_by="updated")
def get(self):
feed = self.client.GetPosts(blog_id="7297489546734971425",
query=self.query)
for entry in feed.entry:
print entry.title.text.encode("utf-8")

But it fails to retrieve posts with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/
GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/
google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 511, in __call__

File "/Users/ondruska/Documents/tenant-check/gd.py", line 36, in get
feed = self.client.GetPosts(blog_id="7297489546734971425",
query=self.query)

client.py", line 65, in get_posts
desired_class=desired_class, query=query, **kwargs)
File "/Users/ondruska/Documents/tenant-check/gdata/client.py", line

**kwargs)
File "/Users/ondruska/Documents/tenant-check/gdata/client.py", line
320, in request
RequestError)
RequestError: Server responded with: 400, Invalid query
parameters:categories

This is using gdata python client 2.0.12. Similar code in Java with
gdata java client works fine. Anybody having similar problems?

Thanks,

[bloggerDev] Re: Future directions for Blogger API development?

Hi Brett

API: as a newbie, the only thing that springs to mind are additional
elements that can be processed/displayed via Bloggers gadget install
facility.

e.g. "a terms of use link" XML element, to allow developers to cover
themselves from being sued. If set, displays/requires confirmation -
something along the lines of "you must agree to these <link>terms of
use</link> before install". I know it can already be done (for some
types of widget) as per Amazon's gadgets or as I tried and ditched, by
having a user pref tickbox, and code to check ticked - but these are
cumbersome/non user friendly work rounds.

also an "installer heading" xml attribute (to allow you to include
your own heading/comments/advice at the top of the blogger install
facility).

Glad to hear you are going to be looking at example code/tutorials
etc. As a newbie I found the documentation very sparse and
frustrating. In fact my view is it would be more beneficial to improve/
build the documentation (the last thing any developer wants to hear!)
before starting work on adding to the API's.

Submitting Gadgets: Again, I can't tell from the documentation:

Are we emailed if a gadget rejected? I've been waiting over 3 weeks
for my gadget to be added (wordpress took one hour).

Is Ultra right? If the directory is not processing submissions then
there is not much point in developing gadgets.

Is the "blogger directory" we submit to actually the igoogle
directory, or is it the list of gadgets presented to blogger users
when they click to install gadgets?

This is all quite frustrating for me, as the UK Gov Foreign Office
like my widget, and offered to link to it once it is registered in the
directory.

I appreciate that some of these points may fall outside your area, but
I'm hoping you might know the answers.

P.S. Good luck in your new role!

[bloggerDev] Re: Future directions for Blogger API development?

Hi Brett!

I know it isn't strictly part of the Blogger API, but I would like the
gadgets.window.adjustHeight() JavaScript function ( see
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference/#gadgets.window.adjustHeight
) to be updated to work consistently with Internet Explorer 8.
Currently, dynamic height adjusting can expand the iframe around the
gadget in all major browsers, but it cannot shrink the iframe only in
Internet Explorer 8 (although, strangely, it can shrink the iframe in
Internet Explorer 7 compatibility mode).

I also second Ultra in hoping you can check on what is holding up
processing of new submissions to the Blogger Gadget directory.

The things I see a few Blogger users wanting right now are the ability
to automate spam message marking, which would call for some kind of
way to send comments to the spam folder using the API, and a way to
share private comment feeds (if they exist) with the authorized
viewers of the blog.

As for the tutorials, the Blogger API's Developer's Guide: JavaScript
page ( see http://code.google.com/apis/blogger/docs/1.0/developers_guide_js.html
) is full of errors [Error: object Event] that have to be suppressed
when viewed in Google Chrome 6.

Thanks for asking!

[bloggerDev] Re: Future directions for Blogger API development?

Hi Brett and thanks for being open to listen.

I'd suggest considering support for prefs.set() method, which works
perfectly for iGoogle gadgets and is very simply to use. This is
something I'm personally missing.

Not less important is figuring out what's going on with Blogger Gadget
directory, since there are not processed any new submissions at
http://www.blogger.com/gadget-submit.g

Looking forward to see these two settled.
Cheers!

[bloggerDev] Future directions for Blogger API development?

Hey all,

I figure I should formally introduce myself to the group. I am the new Blogger developer relations engineer housed in the Sydney Googleplex.

As part of figuring out my priorities for the coming months it would be useful to know what you guys want to use the Blogger API for. This will enable me to build tutorials, example code, and most importantly, help guide future engineering directions of the blogger team.

[bloggerDev] Re: How to query blogs without blogid?

Thanks for the detailed response, but I'm trying to access the public
blog information without a blogid.

For example, I can go to blogsearch.google.com and type in queries to
search all the blogs.
I would like to do that via an API.

I assumed the Blogger Api was correct for that, but it seems that the
Blogger API is for accessing personal blogs, not public blog
information.

Thanks
Bill

[bloggerDev] Gadget Directory Issues

Hi, I've tried posting this question in a few forums without any
response, fingers crossed someone here can help me!

I'm hoping someone can tell me whether the failure of my gadget to
preview in GGE and via igoogle directory is down to limitation in
their handling of APIs, or whether there is something wrong with my
code?

Gadget url = http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/100257443189777594535/widgetc-4-blogger.xml

The gadget installs, previews, and works fine on my blog
http://anythingtravel.blogspot.com and also on my personal igoogle
page. The preview also works if I try to "embed the widget" via the
Google Friend Connect directory (unfortunately my widget is not really
appropriate to this directory!).

However when using the Gadget Directory to generate the code for
"embedding the widget"
www.google.com/ig/directory?url=hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/100257443189777594535/widgetc-4-blogger.xmlurl=hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/100257443189777594535/widgetc-4-blogger.xml
the user pref options are displayed but the preview is just a blank
window.

Any help/info would be much appreciated.

Hi dev-team,

I'd like to have something being added to the GData/Blogger Java SDK
tutorials added. It took me almost a day to figure out how to retrieve
the HTML content of my blog entry. I saw a number of people looking
for that and therefore I'd like to post the following code, because I
found the answers somewhat not helpful.

                       GoogleService blogService = new GoogleService("blogger",
"kammerath");
                       BlogFeed blogFeed = blogService.getFeed(new URL(feedUrl),
BlogFeed.class);

                       List<BlogEntry> blogEntries = blogFeed.getEntries();
                       for (int i = 0; i < blogEntries.size(); i++) {
                               BlogEntry entry = blogEntries.get(i);
                           ContentItem item = new ContentItem();
                           item.title = entry.getTitle().getPlainText();
                           item.text = ((HtmlTextConstruct)
((TextContent)entry.getContent()).getContent()).getHtml();
                           contentItems.put(item.title, item);
                       }

Hope this helps someone getting it quicker.

Jan

Re: [bloggerDev] Comments and questions on blogger protocol

Sorry Rob, can you repeat the question here?

Re: [bloggerDev] Use the blogger API to publish blogspot posts to my site?


On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 8:52 AM, Qwavel <qwavel@gmail.com> wrote:
I want to publish blogspot posts on an existing website.

In other words, I would be using blogger to edit and store posts, but
then use the blogger data API to retrieve those posts and publish them
on my site (the site uses Python on GAE).

Alternatively, I could embed my blogspot page in my website using an
iFrame.  I think this would only work if I used an absolute minimal
blogger template for my blog.  The blogspot navbar, for instance,
would have to be hidden.

I think that what I am trying to do is probably pretty normal - is
there a 'normal' way to do it?


I believe that you would get a better user experience using the blogger data api to retrieve posts and integrate them with your site over using an IFrame, mainly because you have a single page experience as opposed to the confusion around navigation that IFrames give.

Using various google data sources within an application is a valid way of building a site, in fact there was a Google IO 2010 video featured maintaining content for a shopping gadget using a google spreadsheet...
