Get blog slug and name in recent posts loop

Hi

Is there a way to pull the slug, name and URL of the blog a post belongs to?

For example we have a landing page that will pull in the most recent articles from three seperate blogs and to discern where each post belongs I want to use the slug as a classname, the name as a link with the URL to the Blog.

I wasn’t able to find anything in the documentation but I did only briefly look through.

Here’s an example of my code so far -

 {% set rec_posts = blog_recent_posts('5788265122, 8759379468, 8759379470', 6) %}
 {% for rec_post in rec_posts %}
 <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-12 BLOG-SLUG">
 <div class="story-block">
 <div class="story-thumb">
 <a href="{{ rec_post.absolute_url }}">
 <div class="thumb-height"></div>
 <div class="thumb-img" style="background-image: url('{{ rec_post.featured_image }}')">
 <img src="{{ rec_post.featured_image }}" alt="">
 </div>
 </a>
 </div>
 <div class="story-text">
 <div class="author-icon">
 <img src="{{ rec_post.blog_author.avatar }}" alt="">
 </div>
 <div class="author-name">
 {{ rec_post.blog_post_author.display_name }}
 </div>
 <a href="{{ rec_post.absolute_url }}">
 <h4>{{ rec_post.name }}</h4>
 </a>
 <p>{{ rec_post.post_summary }}</p>
 <p>
 {{ rec_post.group.id }}
 </p>
 <a href="{{ rec_post.absolute_url }}" class="read-more">Read more <i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
 <div class="blog-name">
 <hr>
 <a href="BLOG URL">BLOG NAME</a>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 {% endfor %}

Here’s my solution -

 {% set blog_one_posts = blog_recent_posts('8759379468', limit=6) %}
 {% set blog_two_posts = blog_recent_posts('8759379470', limit=6) %}
 {% set blog_three_posts = blog_recent_posts('5787859864', limit=6) %}
 {% set rec_posts = (blog_one_posts + blog_two_posts + blog_three_posts) | sort(true, false, 'publish_date') %}
 {% for rec_post in rec_posts %}
 {% if loop.revindex >= 6 %}
 <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-12 {{ rec_post.parent_blog.slug }}">
 <div class="story-block">
 <div class="story-thumb">
 <a href="{{ rec_post.absolute_url }}">
 <div class="thumb-height"></div>
 <div class="thumb-img" style="background-image: url('{{ rec_post.featured_image }}')">
 <img src="{{ rec_post.featured_image }}" alt="">
 </div>
 </a>
 </div>
 <div class="story-text">
 <div class="author-icon">
 <img src="{{ rec_post.blog_author.avatar }}" alt="">
 </div>
 <div class="author-name">
 {{ rec_post.blog_post_author.display_name }}
 </div>
 <a href="{{ rec_post.absolute_url }}">
 <h4>{{ rec_post.name }}</h4>
 </a>
 <div class="summary">
 {{ rec_post.post_summary }}
 </div>
 <a href="{{ rec_post.absolute_url }}" class="read-more">Read more <i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
 <div class="blog-name">
 <hr>

 <a href="{{ rec_post.parent_blog.absolute_url }}">{{ rec_post.parent_blog.public_title }}</a>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}
