Changes to ProfileID for Google+ profile users

It’s wonderful to see a lot of
our users taking us up on our
offer to merge our Blogger
Profile with the Google+

Profile. For developers this
means that there is one small
wrinkle to worry about - the
format of the ProfileId
for these migrated users has
changed.
What’s a ProfileId, and
what’s it used for?
The ProfileId is a
component of the path for the
Retrieving a List of Blogs
Blogger GData protocol call,
which can either be the value
default , which is the
recommended value and means
the currently authenticated
user, or alternatively it can be
the profile identifier of the
current authenticated user. Up
until now, the profile identifier
has always been numeric, but
for the converted Google+
Profile Blogger users, this is no
longer the case.
For users that have converted
to using Google+ Profiles on
Blogger, the ProfileId
can be derived as follows. Take
the Google+ profile url for a
user that has chosen to
convert, for example https://
plus.google.com/
114895967455102275039/,
then take the numeric portion
at the end of the URL, prepend
it with a g, and like magic, you
have the new Blogger
ProfileId.
If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to ask
on the Blogger Developers
group, and if you are on Google
+, have a look at our Blogger
Google+ Page.
