One correction:

The Python get_blogger_service() function actually returns the GDataService object:

def get_blogger_service(username, password): blogger = service.GDataService(username, password) blogger.source = 'My Source' blogger.service = 'blogger' blogger.server = 'www.blogger.com' blogger.ProgrammaticLogin() return blogger

Thanks,

Cory

Hi,

I am unable to get non-gmail.com Google accounts to authenticate against the Blogger API.

I have two accounts (examples used here):

exam...@gmail.com exam...@example.com

Both are valid Google accounts, and both have access to my blog. I can login with each using the Blogger web interface, and publish posts. I can also use other Google services with each account, such as Google Reader. No problems, and authentication works perfectly.

However, Blogger fails to authenticate the exam...@example.com account when I use the Blogger Data API (Python). Here is my authentication function:

When I call this function with my gmail.com account, everything works properly:

>>> blogger = get_blogger_service('exam...@gmail.com','mypassword')

But when I use my non-gmail.com Google account, I get a gdata.service.BadAuthentication exception:

Hi Cory,

Does this non-gmail account happen to belong to a Google Apps domain? If so, you might try adding the following to get_blogger_service:

blogger.account_type = 'GOOGLE'

Please let me know if this helps.

Cheers,

Jeff

>>> blogger = get_blogger_service('exam...@example.com','mypassword') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<stdin>", line 6, in get_blogger_service File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/gdata/service.py", line 318, in ProgrammaticLogin gdata.service.BadAuthentication: Incorrect username or password

I am certain that the username and password are correct, as I mentioned, I can login to the Blogger web interface with them and post articles. I've tried this multiple times, with multiple accounts and I see the same result over and over. I also looked for a preference setting in my Blogger account in case external authentication needed to be manually enabled, but I found nothing.

This seems to be a problem with the API. Is there something I am missing here, or is this a bug? Are there any workarounds? I really need to get this to work.

Thanks for your help,
