ODS Weblog Movable Type API mt.getRecentPostTitles Description: Returns a list of the most recent posts in the system, containing a titles without descriptions. Parameters: string "blogid" string "username" string "password" int "numberOfPosts" Return value: on success, array of structs containing only "dateCreated", "userid", ""postid"" and "title" members of structure. on failure, fault mt.getCategoryList Description: Returns a list of all categories defined in the weblog. Parameters: string "blogid" string "username" string "password" Return value: on success, an array of structs containing : string "categoryId" and string "categoryName" on failure, fault. mt.setPostCategories Description: Sets the categories for a post. Parameters: string "postid" string "username" string "password" array categories Return value: on success, boolean true value; on failure, fault Note: The array "categories" is an array of structs containing: { string "categoryId" boolean "isPrimary" } Using "isPrimary" to set the primary category is optional in the absence of this flag, the first struct in the array will be assigned the primary category for the post. mt.getPostCategories Description: Returns a list of all categories to which the post is assigned. Parameters: string "postid" string "username" string "password" Return value: on success, an array of structs containing: { string "categoryName" string "categoryId" boolean "isPrimary" } on failure, fault. Notes: "isPrimary" denotes whether a category is the post's primary category. mt.getTrackbackPings Description: Retrieve the list of TrackBack pings posted to a particular entry. This could be used to programmatically retrieve the list of pings for a particular entry, then iterate through each of those pings doing the same, until one has built up a graph of the web of entries referencing one another on a particular topic. Parameters: "postid" string Return value: an array of structs containing: { string "pingTitle" the title of the entry sent in the ping string "pingURL" the URL of the entry string "pingIP" the IP address of the host that sent the ping } mt.publishPost Description: No effect (just for compatibility), as blog home page is dynamic resource. Parameters: string "postid" string "username" string "password" Return value: on success, boolean true value; on failure, fault mt.supportedMethods Description: Retrieve information about the XML-RPC methods supported by the server. Parameters: none Return value: an array of method names supported by the server. NOTE: the value of "appkey" is ignored by Movable Type in all of the Blogger XML-RPC methods. XML-RPC endpoint configuration A virtual directory can be created and blogger API exposed to it. To do that following two approaches are possible: Via Conductor UI create new virtual directory and select a template for XML-RPC link Check the option 'bloggerAPI' and click Add. A logical path now will support the XML-RPC and will have blogger APIs exposed. Another approach is to execute following SQL script via ISQL tool as follows: .... blogserver.sql .... vhost_define (lpath=>'/RPC2', ppath=>'/SOAP/', soap_user=>'$U{usr}', soap_opts=>vector ('XML-RPC', 'yes')); grant execute on "blogger.newPost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.editPost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.deletePost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.getPost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.getRecentPosts" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.getUsersBlogs" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.getTemplate" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.setTemplate" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "blogger.getUserInfo" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "metaWeblog.newPost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "metaWeblog.editPost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "metaWeblog.getPost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "metaWeblog.getRecentPosts" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "mt.getRecentPostTitles" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "mt.getCategoryList" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "mt.setPostCategories" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "mt.getPostCategories" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "mt.getTrackbackPings" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "mt.publishPost" to $U{usr}; grant execute on "mt.supportedMethods" to $U{usr}; ... eof ... $ isql 1111 dba dba -u usr="SQL user for execution" blog_server.sql Please note that "SQL user for execution" needs to be created prior to this action. Important: if you specify the "dba" as user for SOAP execution in virtual directory, grant statements are not needed; but this will open a security hole. So this approach is not recommended. Always is better to have a separate user for SOAP execution with limited rights.
