Blogger Post via .NET Program

 

1. First, you need to create a Google account if you don't have one already. Then go to the Google Developers Console and create a new project.
   
2. In the project dashboard, enable the Blogger API by clicking on the "Enable APIs and Services" button and search for "Blogger API" in the search box. Click on the "Blogger API" and then click on the "Enable" button.
3. Next, create API credentials by clicking on the "Create credentials" button and selecting "OAuth client ID." Choose "Desktop app" as the application type, give it a name, and click on "Create."
4. After you have created the credentials, you will be given a client ID and a client secret. You will need these values later on in your .NET code.
5. Install the Google.Apis.Blogger.v3 NuGet package in your .NET project. This package contains the Blogger API client libraries.
6. In your .NET code, create an instance of the BloggerService class and authenticate using the client ID and client secret you obtained in step 4. You will also need to authenticate the user by opening a web browser and having them sign in with their Google account.
7. Once you are authenticated, you can use the BloggerService object to create a new blog post. Here is some example code:

using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
using Google.Apis.Blogger.v3;
using Google.Apis.Blogger.v3.Data;
using Google.Apis.Services;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;

namespace BloggerApiExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set up the Blogger API client.
            UserCredential credential;
            using (var stream = new FileStream("credentials.json", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
            {
                credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
                    GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
                    new[] { BloggerService.Scope.Blogger },
                    "user",
                    CancellationToken.None).Result;
            }

            var service = new BloggerService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
            {
                HttpClientInitializer = credential,
                ApplicationName = "Blogger API Example",
            });

            // Create a new blog post.
            var post = new Post()
            {
                Title = "My new blog post",
                Content = "This is the content of my new blog post.",
            };

            var request = service.Posts.Insert(post, "blogId");
            var result = request.Execute();
            Console.WriteLine("Post created: " + result.Id);
        }
    }
}

In this example, replace "blogId" with the ID of the blog you want to post to. You can find the blog ID in the blog's settings in the Blogger dashboard.
