I have also provided a pair of tutorials for managing your MSN Spaces blog using desktop blogging tools, one on using Blogjet to manage your MSN Spaces blog and the other on using W.Bloggar to manage your blog on MSN Spaces.

The following information is for developers who would like to build applications that programmatically interact with MSN Spaces.

Supported Blogger and MetaWeblog API methods:

• metaWeblog.newPost (blogid, username, password, struct, publish) returns string
• metaWeblog.editPost (postid, username, password, struct, publish) returns boolean
• metaWeblog.getPost (postid, username, password) returns struct
• metaWeblog.getCategories (blogid, username, password) returns array of structs
• metaWeblog.getRecentPosts (blogid, username, password, numberOfPosts) returns array of structs
• blogger.deletePost(appkey, postid, username, password, publish) returns boolean
• blogger.getUsersBlogs(appkey, username, password) returns array of structs
• blogger.getUserInfo(appkey, username, password) returns struct
  

Unsupported MetaWeblog API methods:

• metaWeblog.newMediaObject (blogid, username, password, struct) returns struct

NOTE: The appKey parameter used by the deletePost, getUsersBlogs and getUserInfo method is ignored. MSN Spaces will not require an application key to utilize its APIs.

Expect to see more information about the MetaWeblog API for MSN Spaces on http://msdn.microsoft.com/msn shortly. We also will be providing a forum to discuss the APIs for MSN Spaces at http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn in the next few days. If you have questions about using the API or suggestions about other APIs you would like to see, either respond to this blog entry or send me mail at dareo AT microsoft DOT com.
