It appears they have implemented something to stop accepting postings if the posting rate is excessive. I ran into this when I was testing and apparently exceeded whatever the magic number is. I found if you log onto Blogger manually and make a post, you will be presented with a graphic challange to verify that you are a human user. That seems to reset their system so that API posts will be accepted again.

Considering all of the spam postings that Blogger is getting, this appears to be a good thing, although it would be nice to know what the rate limit is.

I have a system which posts to the Blogger ATOM API, but recently I'm getting this error: Exception caught but no reason given: com.google.blogger.exceptions.RateLimitingException

Can someone tell me EXACTLY what this means please?

Thanks
