Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Blogger data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your marketing and sales data instead of moving it.
What is the Blogger connector
Sync your Blogger posts, pages, and comments into BigQuery with Kaivo to track publishing output and reader engagement across your blogs.
Getting started with the Blogger connector
- Sign up for Kaivo and create a workspace.
- Connect your Blogger account.
- Choose which tables to sync.
- Wait for the initial sync to finish.
- Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.
Authenticating Blogger
Authenticate with your Blogger credentials. You provide:
Prerequisites
Blogger uses Google OAuth, so you need to register your own Google Cloud application:
- In the Google Cloud Console, create a project, enable the Blogger API v3, and create OAuth 2.0 credentials to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.
- Authorize your app for the Blogger API (scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/blogger.readonly) and complete the OAuth consent flow once — for example with the Google OAuth 2.0 Playground configured to use your own Client ID and Secret — to obtain a Refresh Token.
Then enter those values below.

Configuring the Blogger connector
When you set up the connector, you provide:
Tables and columns synced from Blogger
Kaivo syncs 5 tables from Blogger into a dedicated dataset in your BigQuery warehouse. Click any table to see its columns and types.
How the Blogger sync works
After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Blogger supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the initial sync take for Blogger?
It depends on how much history is in your Blogger account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.
Can I sync only some tables or columns?
Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.
What happens when Blogger's schema changes?
New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in Blogger, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.
How do I handle GDPR or data deletion requests?
Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Blogger instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Blogger connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.
