Parameters in Blogspot feed

 This post presented for me to understanding the "Query Parameters in Blogspot Feed". As we know, the URL to get feed items of our blog is http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default. You can review this feed after as my blog feed : http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default or you can use your own blog to experiment.

There are two options how to using your blogger's feed

1. Using your blogger's address : http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feed/post/default
2. Using your blogid : http://www.blogger.com/feeds/blogID/posts/default

The Blogger Data API supports the following query parameter:

alt

Meaning - Alternative representation type
We can use one of the folowing values :

• If wedon't specify an alt parameter, the service returns an Atom feed. This is equivalent to alt=atom
• alt=rss returns an RSS 2.0 result feed (for reads only)
• alt=json returns a JSON representation of the feed
• alt=json-in-script Requests a response that wraps JSON in a script tag
• alt=atom-in-script Requests an Atom response that wraps an XML string in a script tag.
• alt=rss-in-script Requests an RSS response that wraps an XML string in a script tag.
• alt=atom-service Requests an Atom service document that describes the feed.

For example :  
http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json or  
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1862344473010958336/posts/default?alt=json
This will returns type of feed as a JSON.

/category

Meaning - Category query filter
Specifies categories (also known as labels) to filter the feed results.
For example,  
http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/blogging or  
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1862344473010958336/posts/default/-/blogging
This will returns entries with the label or category of blogging.

max-results

Meaning - The Maximum number of results to be retrieved  
http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?max-results=2 or  
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1862344473010958336/posts/default?max-results=2
This will returns entries with 2 results.

orderby

Meaning - The order in which to return entries, such as lastmodified (the default), starttime, or updated.  
http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated or  
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1862344473010958336/posts/default?orderby=updated
I do not know how to using lastmodified and starttime!

published-min, published-max

Meaning  - The bounds on entry publication dates  
http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?published-min=2010-11-01T00:00:00&published-max=2011-11-30T23:59:59&orderby=updated or  
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1862344473010958336/posts/default?published-min=2010-11-01T00:00:00&published-max=2011-11-30T23:59:59&orderby=updated

start-index

Meaning - The 1-based index of the first result to be retrieved
http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?start-index=1 or
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1862344473010958336/posts/default?start-index=1
Test by yourself, you can change number on start-index=1

updated-min, updated-max

Meaning  - The bounds on entry update dates.
These query parameters are ignored unless the orderby parameter is set to updated  
http://isitdull.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?updated-min=2010-11-01T00:00:00&updated-max=2011-11-30T23:59:59&orderby=updated or  
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1862344473010958336/posts/default?updated-min=2010-11-01T00:00:00&updated-max=2011-11-30T23:59:59&orderby=updated
