Java
Uses the Java client library
// The BlogId for the http://code.blogger.com/ blog.
String CODE_BLOG_ID = "3213900";
// Configure the Java API Client for Installed Native App
HttpTransport HTTP_TRANSPORT = new NetHttpTransport();
JsonFactory JSON_FACTORY = new JacksonFactory();
// Configure for the Installed App OAuth2 flow.
Credential credential = OAuth2Native.authorize(HTTP_TRANSPORT,
JSON_FACTORY, new LocalServerReceiver(),
Arrays.asList(BloggerScopes.BLOGGER));
// Construct the Blogger API access facade object.
Blogger blogger = Blogger.builder(HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY)
.setApplicationName("Blogger-BlogGet-Snippet/1.0")
.setHttpRequestInitializer(credential).build();
// This is the request action that you can configure before sending the request.
Get blogGetAction = blogger.blogs().get(CODE_BLOG_ID);
// Restrict the result content to just the data we need.
blogGetAction.setFields("description,name,posts/totalItems,updated");
// This step sends the request to the server.
Blog blog = blogGetAction.execute();
// Now we can navigate the response.
System.out.println("Name: "+blog.getName());
System.out.println("Description: "+blog.getDescription());
System.out.println("Post Count: "+blog.getPosts().getTotalItems());
System.out.println("Last Updated: "+blog.getUpdated());
