Re: Re: Must Blogger.com API be "ON" to work?

Thanks Luke,

I did not attach the API key as a parameter to the request. I only used 
clientID, clientSecret and refreshToken in order to get a new access_token, 
so I never used the API key during any steps of the Oath Flow.

I am not sure how you mean by enable my endpoint/C# program for the API key?
I can find my API key in "*Key for server applications*" and here it says:
IPS
Any IP allowed
ACTIVATION DATE
Feb 6, 2015, 4:06:00 PM

It was a good idéa to try the API Explorer, so I did that. I clicked "ON" 
to "Authorize requests using OAuth 2.0" and filled in my "blogId" only. 
This worked, a blog post was posted on my blog so something should be 
activated and work here?

This is the response screenshot with all details (I have erased some info 
though)

When looking at the response, I can see that the request is using the API 
key ONLY? Is that enough to use in order to add a post to the blog. If I 
understood from the documentation: 
(https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/3.0/using#AddingAPost) the API 
key could not be used in order to Add a post but I would need the 
refresh_token in order and request a new temporary access_token?

But I have tried to put up this example using the information from the 
response. I have only put the API key as seen and added a header: 
"Content-Encoding", "gzip". It was also shown in the response that 
"Content-Length" could be needed, is this critical to use, if so how can I 
calculate the length?

Below code gives a new error message. (See screenshot)

            String requestUrl = 
"https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/123456789/posts?key=myAPIkeyGoesHere";

            RestSharp.RestClient rc = new RestSharp.RestClient();
            RestSharp.RestRequest request = new 
RestSharp.RestRequest(requestUrl, RestSharp.Method.POST);
            request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
            request.AddHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
            //request.AddHeader("Content-Length", "???");

            request.AddParameter("blogid", "123456789");
            request.AddParameter("title", "Hello world");
            request.AddParameter("content", "A message in the blog post");


            request.RequestFormat = RestSharp.DataFormat.Json;

            RestSharp.RestResponse restResponse = 
(RestSharp.RestResponse)rc.Execute(request);
            RestSharp.ResponseStatus responseStatus = 
restResponse.ResponseStatus;



            MessageBox.Show(restResponse.Content.ToString() + "," + 
restResponse.Content.ToString().Length.ToString() + "," + 
responseStatus.ToString());
