This Github action is to Publish Rss feed posts As Posts in Blogger Website automatically by using command line tool for pulling articles from RSS feed to Blogger as articles, Considering Google allows Blogger api to be used 50 per day, you can use this CLI tool to pull 50 articles per day from any RSS feed mentioned in the parameter - RSSFeedUrl.

We have to generate Oauth token to push articles in blogger for that we need credentials json for the Blogger owner service account by going through the following article and generate the credentials key json - https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/keys-create-delete#creating .

Add the credentials json and convert it to base64 format and add to Github secrets and provide the secret name in this parameter - GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_Json.

Create a google api key and add blogger permission to that key and add in secret as ApiKey.

Update your blog id in the parameter BloggerId.

Update the RSS feed url to fetch the articles from - eg.: below url we can provide for parameter RSSFeedUrl : https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/plugins/custom/microsoft/o365/custom-blog-rss?tid=-189242975710986885&board=FastTrackforAzureBlog&size=55
