How did they get this url in build a blog reader?

I was wondering where they got this API from in 'Build a blog reader' track.

http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/?count=20

I copied and pasted it from the teachers notes but I would like to know where it came from and how they got it.

Would I be able to put other blogs into this app? How would I find the URL for a different blog?

Team Treehouse build a JSON api to use for the course. So it is essentially a custom web service more than likely designed by Team Treehouse.
