This document contains information on the XML-RPC interface that BLOG:CMS provides, and the error messages it spits out. Please note that the specification of this interface might still undergo changes in the future.
BLOG:CMS implements the Blogger API. This allows for tools and services that can communicate with Blogger, to be able to also communicate with BLOG:CMS. Because the way BLOG:CMS works, some interpretations of parameters are slightly different, see the notes below for more info. The structure of method calls and responses are, of course, exactly the same as the methods at Blogger.
Here's the list of available methods. Click them to get more information (links go to either the Blogger API or the Blogger API Mailinglist).
Since BLOG:CMS is structured somewhat differently inside, there are some differences in the way parameters are handled. An overview:
Since v1.1, BLOG:CMS also supports the metaWeblog API, which is an extention to the Blogger API.
In BLOG:CMS v2.5, support was added for the newMediaObject
and getRecentPosts
methods as well (they weren't in the original metaWeblog specification)
A list of available methods is listed below (see the specification for more info):
Since v2.5, BLOG:CMS supports the methods from the Movable Type API.
The list of available methods is listed below:
