I have an "Authorization Code" for my application. But how can I use it to publish to a blogger using gdata-python-client?

I am using gdata-pyton-client. I have an "Authorization Code" for my application. But what now? How can I use it to post to a blogger?

I used the following code and got an authorization code,

CLIENT_ID = 'my-client-id' CLIENT_SECRET = 'my-secret' SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/blogger'] USER_AGENT = 'my-app' token = gdata.gauth.OAuth2Token( client_id=CLIENT_ID, client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET, scope=' '.join(SCOPES), user_agent=USER_AGENT) print token.generate_authorize_url(redirect_url='urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob') print token.get_access_token(TOKEN-THAT-I-GOT-FROM-ABOVE-URL)

But how to use it?

How can I authorize a blogger to post to a blogger? I used this example for my testing purpose: https://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/source/browse/samples/blogger/BloggerExampleV1.py

But for this, email and password are used. How can I use an access token?

you can try below.

Please make sure all imported products are below.

 from apiclient.discovery import build from oauth2client.file import Storage from oauth2client.client import AccessTokenRefreshError from oauth2client.client import flow_from_clientsecrets from oauth2client.tools import run

Set up your client_secrets.JSON like this

setting client_secrets.json as

 { "web": { "client_id": "[[INSERT CLIENT ID HERE]]", "client_secret": "[[INSERT CLIENT SECRET HERE]]", "redirect_uris": [], "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token" } }

For future reference, you can save your credentials in the blogger.dat file for faster processing.

 FLOW = flow_from_clientsecrets(Path_to_client_secrets.json,scope='https://www.googleapis.com/auth/blogger',message=MISSING_CLIENT_SECRETS_MESSAGE) storage = Storage('blogger.dat') credentials = storage.get() if credentials is None or credentials.invalid: credentials = run(FLOW, storage)

After setting credentials. Its time for publication! therefore, we create an httplib2.Http object to process our HTTP requests and authorize with our good credentials.

 http = httplib2.Http() http = credentials.authorize(http) service = build("blogger", "v2", http=http)

After creating, we will create the body of the blog and publish

 try: body = { "kind": "blogger#post", "id": "6814573853229626501", "title": "posted via python", "content":"<div>hello world test</div>" } request = service.posts().insert(your_blogId_ID,body) response = request.execute() print response except AccessTokenRefreshError: print ("The credentials have been revoked or expired, please re-run the application to re-authorize")

hope this helps.

See this documentation page for instructions on how to use markers, in particular the example at the end:

 # Find a token to set the Authorization header as the request is being made token = self.token_store.find_token(url) # Tell the token to perform the request using the http_client object # By default, the http_client is an instance of atom.http.HttpClient which uses httplib to make requests token.perform_request(self.http_client, 'GET', url, data=None, headers)
