MetaWeblog
The MetaWeblog API is an application programming interface created by Dave Winer that enables blog entries to be written, edited, and deleted using client software or web services.
The API is implemented as an XML-RPC web service with three methods whose names describe their function: metaweblog.newPost(), metaweblog.getPost() and metaweblog.editPost(). These methods take arguments that specify the blog author's username and password along with information related to an individual weblog entry (also called a "post.").
The impetus for the creation of the API in 2002 was perceived limitations of the Blogger API, which serves the same purpose. Another weblog publishing API, the Atom Publishing Protocol is currently under development and anticipated to become an IETF Internet standard.
