Is there a Restful Blog API

Question

I can't seem to find a true restful Blog API - are there any? I'm writing some blog software and wondered if there was a standard restful API, if not I'll go buy the RESTful Web Services book and design my own.

Answer 1

How about AtomPub?

Atom is the name of an XML-based Web content and metadata syndication format, and an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources.

It isn't limited to blogs, but blogs certainly fall under the realm of applications are used for "publishing and editing Web resources".

Answer 2

I don't know about REST, but have you look at MetaWeblog API? It's XML-RPC though.
