Ooof, that was rough. Blogger underwent many migrations since I used it last, and whatever migration tooling people have come up with in the intervening years, all are now broken, unsurprisingly. After much Gemini poking, back-and-forth, we arrived at this, which “works” (reads atom.feed):
# blogger_to_hugo.py
import feedparser
from markdownify import markdownify as md
import os
import re
from datetime import datetime
# CONFIG
ATOM_FILE = "feed.atom" # Point this to your file
OUTPUT_DIR = "content/posts"
os.makedirs(OUTPUT_DIR, exist_ok=True)
feed = feedparser.parse(ATOM_FILE)
def slugify(text):
return re.sub(r'[\W_]+', '-', text.lower()).strip('-')
for entry in feed.entries:
# Filter for actual blog posts (Blogger feeds include CSS and settings entries)
if not hasattr(entry, 'content') or 'post' not in entry.id:
continue
title = entry.title
slug = slugify(title) or f"post-{entry.id.split('-')[-1]}"
date = entry.published # Standard ISO format usually
content_html = entry.content[0].value
# Convert HTML to Markdown
markdown_body = md(content_html, heading_style="ATX")
with open(f"{OUTPUT_DIR}/{slug}.md", "w") as f:
f.write("---\n")
f.write(f"title: \"{title}\"\n")
f.write(f"date: {date}\n")
f.write("draft: false\n")
f.write("---\n\n")
f.write(markdown_body)
print(f"Success: Processed {len(feed.entries)} entries into {OUTPUT_DIR}/")Invocation:
