# Blogger

Blogger is Google's free blogging platform that lets individuals and organizations publish content, manage readers, and host static pages. It's one of the longest-running blogging tools on the web, used by hobbyists and content creators worldwide.

Connecting Blogger to Coupler.io lets you move your blog data into spreadsheets, databases, or AI tools — without manual exports or copy-pasting.

## Why connect Blogger to Coupler.io?

* **Centralize your content data** — pull posts, pages, comments, and user info into one place
* **Track engagement over time** — monitor comment activity and publication frequency across your blogs
* **Combine with other sources** — join Blogger data with analytics or social media metrics using Coupler.io's Append or Join transformations
* **Feed AI tools** — send post content and metadata to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other AI destinations for summarization, tagging, or analysis

## Prerequisites

* A Google account with access to at least one Blogger blog
