This glossary defines API terms used in this guide, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields you will map between Blogs API and 17hats.
An API is a set of rules that allows two software applications to communicate and share data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation when called.
A callback URL that receives real time notifications from another app when something changes.
A URL friendly label used to identify content in a readable way.

Keep author bios and photos up to date by syncing from 17hats to the Blogs API so readers see accurate attribution.
Turn client notes in 17hats into draft blog posts in the Blogs API to streamline content creation and approval.
Obtain API keys from Blogs API and authorize the connection for 17hats.
Map and configure endpoints in Zapier to connect 17hats with Blogs API.
Run end to end tests, verify data flows, and enable production automation.
You authenticate by using the API credentials provided in Blogs API and by configuring a Blogs API connection in Zapier. Enter your client credentials and test the connection to confirm access. In 17hats, ensure the connection has permission to read and write blog content. After saving, run a test to verify data flows correctly.
Yes, you can sync categories and authors. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull data, then map these fields into 17hats records. Schedule regular syncs to keep data current. This reduces manual updates and keeps content properly attributed.
Key endpoints for content creation and retrieval include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. You can also fetch categories and authors via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for enrichment.
No coding is required when using Zapier App Connector; you configure triggers, actions, and searches through the UI. Some light data mapping helps ensure fields line up between Blogs API and 17hats.
Test the integration in a staging or test zap. Run the built-in test steps, review task and post creation logs, and verify that data matches expected values. Use sample posts and client notes to validate workflows.
Data transferred typically includes post title, slug, content, categories, author IDs, and status. Depending on mapping, you may also transfer publish dates and links. Always confirm field alignment in your Zapier setup.
The endpoint list is described in the Blogs API documentation and within this page. You can also test endpoints directly from a REST client or via Zapier’s built in tests to verify behavior.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
