Dim post As String = "{""kind"": ""blogger#post"", ""blog"": { ""id"": """ & mBlogID & """}, ""title"": ""abc-title"", ""content"": ""abc-cont""}"
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create("https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/" & mBlogID & "/posts?key=" & AuthToken), HttpWebRequest)
request.Method = "POST"
request.ContentLength = post.Length
request.ContentType = "application/json"
request.Headers.Add("Authorization: ", AuthToken) '<--- error here
Using requestStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
Dim postBuffer As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(post)
requestStream.Write(postBuffer, 0, postBuffer.Length)
End Using
Using response As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) '<--- Unauthorised error or 403 error here
Using responseStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
Using responseReader As New StreamReader(responseStream)
'Dim json As String = responseReader.ReadToEnd()
'Dim PostURL As String = Regex.Match(json, """url"": ?""(?<id>.+)""").Groups("id").Value
MsgBox(json) 'want to read json response here.
'MsgBox(PostURL)
