blogspot article text scrape?

[XeonG]

is it possible to also get the blog text that posted.. by default it just downloads the images/videos...but would be good to get the article text aswel....

The metadata postprocessor is probably what you are looking for, kind of. It will dump the text into the "content" section, but at least with this example it seems to break with the encoding...
"content": "Icy Moon Rise        Checked the photographer's Ephemeris to see when the moon would be rising and setting a few days ago for the full moon, very helpful program i might add, set up a few shots at the Northport Lighthouse on the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, arrived an hour before the moon was set to rise, composed the first image i wanted and waited for it to rise in front of me over Lake Michigan, very otherworldly sight, it was simply gorgeous, I hope you enjoy!",

Something like this should work:

"postprocessors": [
{
    "name": "metadata",
    "mode": "json",
    "whitelist": ["blogger"]
}
],

how can I use that? can it be converted to a command line arg?

You need a config file to properly use post processors, that's not something that can really be done with just command-line arguments.

The settings from #2789 (comment) are just --write-metadata, but that 1) writes a lot more than just the text content and 2) does not include text-only posts.

To achieve that, you need the changes from 5038893 and use something like the following as post processor:

{
    "postprocessors": [
        {
            "name": "metadata",
            "mode": "custom",
            "format": "{post[content]}",
            "event": "post",
            "filename": "{post[date]:%Y-%m-%d} {post[title]}.txt"
        }
    ]
}
