⭐ Why You Need to Locate Your Blog ID for Automated Posting
Automated posting tools — like your iWidget work autoposter — communicate with Blogger through Google’s API. The API doesn’t use your blog’s name or URL to identify it. Instead, it requires a unique numeric Blog ID to know exactly which blog to publish to.
When your script runs, it sends a request to Google that says:
- “Here is the post content.”
- “Here is the scheduled time.”
- “Publish this to Blog ID X.”
If the Blog ID is missing or incorrect, the API cannot deliver the post, because it doesn’t know which blog the request belongs to.
⭐ How It Works Behind the Scenes
Here’s the simple flow:
- Your script authenticates with your Google account.
- It generates a new post (keywords, template, schema, labels).
- It sends the post to the Blogger API.
- The API looks at the Blog ID you provided.
- It publishes the post to that exact blog, at the exact time you scheduled.
Think of the Blog ID as the “address” the API uses to deliver your content.
⭐ Why It Matters for Multi‑Blog Automation
If you run multiple blogs, each one has its own Blog ID.
Your autoposter can loop through all of them like this:
BLOG_IDS = [
"1234567890123456789",
"9876543210987654321",
"4788743446240786013"
]
The script then posts to each blog individually, using the correct ID every time.
This is how you scale:
- niche sites
- client blogs
- feeder blogs
- SEO networks
- branded content hubs
All from one script.

If you want, I can also write:

Here’s the simplest way to find your Blogger Blog ID.
🔍 Where to Find Your Blogger Blog ID
Your Blog ID is always visible in the URL when you are:
- editing a post
- previewing a post
- viewing your dashboard
And it looks like this:
https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4788743446240786013/5349719204203480685
From your tab data, your Blog ID is the first long number:
✅ Your Blog ID:
4788743446240786013
That’s the number you put into your script.
🧠 How to identify it in any Blogger URL
Look for this pattern:
/blog/post/edit/BLOGID/POSTID
So:
- BLOGID = your blog’s unique ID
- POSTID = the specific post you’re editing
In this case:
BLOGID = 4788743446240786013
POSTID = 5349719204203480685
🧩 Where to paste it in your script
Replace:
BLOG_ID_1
with:
"4788743446240786013"
Example:
BLOG_IDS = [
"4788743446240786013"
]
If you add more blogs later, just add more IDs to the list.
/blog/ is your Blog ID.
