Re: Blogger API correctly returns results of listByUser, but returns "403 Forbidden" when asked to list posts.

Hi Brian,

If you make the API calls without authenticating, then we respect the RSS
settings. If your blog is set to have no RSS feed, then unauthenticated
requests will not be able to retrieve posts, so as to prevent people
side-stepping the restriction you notated on RSS feeds by accessing your
blog via this API end point instead.

Please either turn on RSS feeds, or make the requests authenticated as a
user with the rights to view the list of posts.
