Some irish guy wrote up a short blogging APIs mini how-to<\/a> yesterday. Then some other guy<\/a> from England (I think) commented that he had written up a quick example of using the apache xml-rpc package to call the metaWeblog api<\/a>. So I had to try it too. Turns out that a) xml-rpc is really easy to do and b) the Moveable Type xml-rpc api<\/a> is really easy too… the code below calls the getRecentPosts() method of the metaWeblog api using the apache xml-rpc<\/a> package:<\/p>\n
