    Hello,

    I'm trying to find a way to get data from several blogs (Blogger, Livejournal, etc) with keyword and location search attributes. One way is to use Google's Blog Search API, but it doesn't have the location attribute.

    Is there any other API for searching blogs with keyword, time and location attributes?

    Thanks for the replies,
    Lauri

    i don't know that type of API exists, mainly because most blogs don't have a specified location. the major blogs in the world, for example, have multiple authors scattered around.

    one option might be to use location from a who.is database. it won't be 100% accurate, but it's better than nothing.
