To retrieve a list of weblogs associated with a user's account via Atom, one need only perform an authenticated HTTP GET against the requisite URL corresponding to each Six Apart product.

Introspection Document Format

The document retrieved contains a set of link relations. For each weblog associated with the user's account you will find five link elements. Below is a list of the link relations associated with each weblog, and what the corresponding URL can be used for:

• service.feed - this link points to the Atom feed associated with the weblog. Fetching this link will return an Atom feed containing a list of entries. This Atom feed is often public and does not require authentication.
• service.categories - this links points to the Atom endpoint from which a list of categories can be retrieved. This endpoint requires authentication.
• service.upload - this link points to the Atom endpoint to which photos can be uploaded. This endpoint requires authentication.
• service.post - this link points to the Atom endpoint to which any Atom request to create, read, update or delete an entry can be sent. This endpoint requires authentication.
• alternate - this link points to the weblog's homepage in HTML format. This endpoint is often public and does not typically require authentication.
