Java
Uses the Java client library
// Configure the Java API Client for Installed Native App
HttpTransport HTTP_TRANSPORT = new NetHttpTransport();
JsonFactory JSON_FACTORY = new JacksonFactory();
// Configure 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-UsersGet-Snippet/1.0")
.setHttpRequestInitializer(credential).build();
// The request action.
Get usersGetAction = blogger.users().get("self");
// Restrict the result content to just the data we need.
usersGetAction.setFields("displayName,url");
// This step sends the request to the server.
User user = usersGetAction.execute();
// Now we can navigate the response.
System.out.println("Display Name: " + user.getDisplayName());
System.out.println("Profile URL: " + user.getUrl());
