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

Thanks Luke,

I am not attaching the API key at all. Looking at the documentation, the 
API key can't be used when "Adding a Post" to the blog?
https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/3.0/using#AddingAPost

It was a good idéa to verify a successful post to the Blogger API. When 
using the API Explorer it did work. A post was added to the blog. This 
should tell that something is working and are enabled?
Here is the response code from API Explorer:
http://www.bilddump.se/bilder/20150313232521-195.252.32.111.bmp

Looking at the response, this URL is shown as a POST which confuses me, as 
the API is present in the URL (which can't be used in order to "Adding a 
Post" ?) 
https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/7438198107440561164/posts?key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Looking at response, I can see those headers and wonder if they are needed:
request.AddHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip"); 
request.AddHeader("Content-Length", "the length of body here"); //Length of 
body in ASCII 

I have done an attempt using the API key but it feels that I have no idéa 
of what I am doing now. I can't find any documentation of a straight 
forward example
of how to do this. I also say this having in mind my very first post which 
"should work" or have to be extremely close. Also that I can't find any C# 
documentation of 
how to use the Google API library of how to "Adding a Post". I have 
searched Google whole day but can't find anything usuable.

Below code gives this error message: (See screenshot)

            request.AddBody(body);
