Techniques for integrating third-party services and APIs into a website built with Blogger

One technique for integrating third-party services and APIs into a website built with Blogger is to use JavaScript to make API calls to the third-party service and display the returned data on the website.

Another technique is to use a server-side language, such as PHP, to make the API calls and then embed the returned data into the website using JavaScript or HTML.

Additionally, Blogger has a built-in feature called "gadgets" that allows users to add HTML, JavaScript and CSS code to the website, which can be used to integrate third-party services and APIs.

I use gadgets to integrate third party API into my blogger sites. Am not a web programmer, therefore use of gadgets is my best bet. Though there are few API on blogger platform. I will still learn how to import third party API to blogger.

Wouldn't it be better to create your own self-hosted site instead of using blogger if you know the technicalities associated with codes and programming languages? I find it surprising when people just start preaching something that does not even have any value
