Publish and Revert Post Drafts

Overview

When we create a blog post, it is saved as a draft post by default. Draft posts are not visible to public users. We need to publish draft posts to make them publicly available. Similarly, we can take down the publicly available posts and revert them to drafts.

Methods

In this lesson, we'll learn how to publish an already created draft post so that it is publicly available. We'll also learn how to revert a published post to a draft state to revoke its public access.

Publish a draft post

We can publish a draft post by making a POST request to the following URL:

https://blogger.googleapis.com/v3/blogs/{blogId}/posts/{postId}/publish

This endpoint requires the blogId of the blog that contains the post that we would like to publish, as well as the postId of the post itself.
