  Hello everybody,

  I hope somebody could help me.

  How do I retrieve posted blog content in wordpress based on id or permalink? I need the API.

  e.g i have post my blog in wordpress and i want it to be showed in my website. Also i need it programmatically in C#. Any idea such as open-standard API, like RSS or Javascript API?

  Thank you

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We can’t help you without the URL of the specific blog you’re talking about. Fully a third of our questions come from people asking about forms of blogging that are not supported here.

  Like this:

  http://handy23.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/hello-world/feed/?withoutcomments=1

  That will work on almost any WordPress blog.

  Hi, I have the same problem and the link above solves the issue. However, if the title of the post contains dash, apostrophe or other special characters, it results in error. e.g: http://intersoftpt.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/virtual-group-paging-with-client-binding-in-depth/feed/?withoutcomments=1.
  Could you help?
  thanks.

  i load the feed to XmlDocument.

  XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
  doc.Load(“http://intersoftpt.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/virtual-group-paging-with-client-binding-in-depth/feed/?withoutcomments=1”);

  and receive exception: “Reference to undeclared entity ‘ndash’. Line 13, position 93.”
  it seems because the title contains dash.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  @tellyworth Thanks !

  Another thing, in the feed xml, how can i differentiate category and tags? They both uses the same tag, <category>

  <category><![CDATA[2009 R2]]></category><category><![CDATA[Development]]></category><category><![CDATA[Products]]></category><category><![CDATA[Client Binding]]></category><category><![CDATA[Group Row Paging]]>
  </category><category><![CDATA[Virtual Load]]></category><category><![CDATA[WebGrid]]></category><category><![CDATA[WebGrid Enterprise 7 ASP.NET]]></category>

  I don’t know any way to differentiate tags, other than manually pre-populating a list of each beforehand. Neither RSS nor Atom has a way to distinguish between them as far as I know.

  It’s possible there’s a way to retrieve that using XMLRPC, but I’m not sure – http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_Support
