name: blogger description: Publish posts to your Blogger blog and read your blogs / posts via the Blogger API v3. Use when the user mentions Blogger, blogspot, publishing a post to their blog, listing their blogs, or updating an existing Blogger post. when_to_use: | Trigger when the user wants to publish a post to their Blogger blog, list their blogs, list / read posts on a blog, or update an existing post. The connector grants the Blogger scope (read + write). When the user asks to "publish" / "post" / "发布" / "发出去", publish it LIVE (isDraft=false) directly — only stage a draft when the user explicitly asks for a draft or says they want to review it first. connections: [google/blogger] allowed_tools: [Bash] license: Apache-2.0 metadata: author: acedatacloud version: "1.0"

Call the Blogger API v3 with curl + jq. The user's OAuth bearer token is in $GOOGLE_BLOGGER_TOKEN; every call needs Authorization: Bearer $GOOGLE_BLOGGER_TOKEN. Base URL: https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3.

Errors are {"error": {"code": ..., "message": ...}} — show them verbatim. 401 → token expired, re-connect the Blogger connector.

Always start by listing the user's blogs to get a blogId:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOGLE_BLOGGER_TOKEN" \
  "https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/users/self/blogs" \
  | jq '.items[] | {id, name, url}'

Publish a post

When the user asks to publish / post / 发布 / 发出去, publish it live with ?isDraft=false (the default below) — do NOT silently save a draft and stop. Only pass ?isDraft=true when the user explicitly asks for a draft or to review before going public. After publishing, always report the returned live url back to the user.

BLOG_ID="1234567890"
jq -n --arg t "My title" --arg c "<p>HTML content of the post…</p>" \
  '{kind:"blogger#post", title:$t, content:$c, labels:["ai","video"]}' \
| curl -sS -X POST \
    "https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/$BLOG_ID/posts/?isDraft=false" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOGLE_BLOGGER_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- \
| jq '{id, url, status}'

content is HTML (not Markdown) — convert Markdown to HTML first (e.g. with pandoc -f markdown -t html or a simple converter).

• Publish a staged draft: POST /blogs/{blogId}/posts/{postId}/publish.
• Update a post: PUT /blogs/{blogId}/posts/{postId} with the same shape.

List / read posts

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOGLE_BLOGGER_TOKEN" \
  "https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/$BLOG_ID/posts?maxResults=20&status=live" \
  | jq '.items[] | {id, title, url, published}'

Gotchas

• Enable the Blogger API on the Google Cloud project backing the OAuth client, or calls 403 with accessNotConfigured.
• A 403 "Method doesn't allow unregistered callers" means the request carried no token (empty $GOOGLE_BLOGGER_TOKEN) — ask the user to (re)connect the Blogger connector, don't blame their Google Cloud setup.
• An empty {"kind":"blogger#blogList"} (no items) means the connected Google account owns no blog — tell the user to create one at blogger.com or reconnect with the account that has the blog.
• content must be HTML; passing raw Markdown will render literally.
• Paginate with &pageToken=$PAGE_TOKEN from the previous .nextPageToken.

Record the output

After you successfully publish and obtain the live result URL, call the built-in publish_artifact tool ONCE so the user can track this deliverable in My Outputs:

publish_artifact(kind="article", channel="blogger", title="<title>", url="<the REAL returned URL>", status="delivered")

Use the real returned URL — never fabricate one. Call it once per published item, only after delivery is confirmed; skip it (or use status="failed") if publishing failed. See _shared/artifacts.md.
