# Blogs

**Important**:
We will discontinue support for the v2.0 JSON API on September 30th, 2024.
To ensure continued functionality, update your applications that rely on the v2.0 JSON API
to the latest API version. For the latest version, use the links in the left-side navbar.
A Blog is the root data class for the Blogger API. Each blog has a series of [Posts](https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/2.0/json/reference/posts) and [Pages](https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/2.0/json/reference/pages), and each Post has a series of [Comments](https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/2.0/json/reference/comments).

## Methods

To retrieve an individual [Blogs](https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/2.0/json/reference/blogs#resource) Resource, use the [blogger.blogs.get](https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/2.0/json/reference/blogs/get) method.

[get](https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/2.0/json/reference/blogs/get)
:   Gets one blog by id.

## Resource Representations
