NAME

WebService::Blogger - (DEPRECATED) Interface to Google's Blogger service

SYNOPSIS

DEPRECATION NOTICE. This module no longer works and is deprecated. In fact, as of this writing (2020-10-21), none of the CPAN modules for Blogger currently work.

This module provides interface to the Blogger service now run by Google. It's built in object-oriented fashion with Moose, which makes it easy to use and extend. It also utilizes newer style GData API for better compatibility. You can retrieve list of blogs for an account, add, update or delete entries.

 use WebService::Blogger;

 my $blogger = WebService::Blogger->new(
     login_id   => 'myemail@gmail.com',
     password   => 'mypassword',
 );

 my @blogs = $blogger->blogs;
 foreach my $blog (@blogs) {
     print join ', ', $blog->id, $blog->title, $blog->public_url, "\n";
 }

 my $blog = $blogs[1];
 my @entries = $blog->entries;

 my ($entry) = @entries;
 print $entry->title, "\n", $entry->content;

 $entry->title('Updated Title');
 $entry->content('Updated content');
 $entry->categories([ qw/category1 category2/ ]);
 $entry->save;

 my $new_entry = WebService::Blogger::Blog->add_entry(
     title   => 'New entry',
     content => 'New content',
     blog    => $blog,
 );
 $new_entry->delete;

METHODS

new

 my $blogger = WebService::Blogger->new(
     login_id   => 'myemail@gmail.com',
     password   => 'mypassword',
 );

Connects to Blogger, authenticates and returns object representing Blogger account. The credentials can be given in named parameters or read from a configuration file which has contents like this:

 username = someone@gmail.com
 password = somepassword

The file is first searched for as $ENV{WEBSERVICE_BLOGGER_CONFIG} then as "$ENV{HOME}/.www_blogger_rc". On Windows, please use the first format.

The file must not be accessible by anyone but the owner. Module will die with an error if it is. Authentication token received will be stored privately and used in all subsequent requests.

blogs

Returns list of blogs for the account, as either array or array reference, depending on the context. Items are instances of WebService::Blogger::Blog.
