Clarifying recent changes to Blogger’s feed access
Wednesday, June 15, 2011
Recently we updated Blogger’s authorization system to be more consistent with regards to the difference in roles between
blogger.com
and
blogspot.com
. As a result, some third-party integrations that depended on an unintended quirk of our previous system broke. This post explains the issue and how to update your implementation to be compliant with the correct authorization behavior.
The
Blogger Developer’s Guide
explains how to authenticate to our services on the URLs under
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/
profileID
/
. The unintended quirk allowed authentication requests against public feed URLs hosted on the
blogspot.com
domain. Under the updated system, this is no longer permitted.
Now, authorization is only permitted against
https://www.blogger.com/feeds/
and
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/
. The feeds are not going away; instead we are separating the read-only, unauthenticated subscriptions from authenticated access to Blogger’s read-write APIs.
We apologize that the impact of this behavior change was not made more clear initially. If you have any further questions on this matter — or Blogger development in general — please post a question in
our BloggerDev forum
.
