To call the Blogs API from Rankr you will authenticate with an API key or OAuth token and pass the credential in the Authorization header. Ensure your app’s scope includes access to blog-related endpoints.
Rankr authenticates to GHL by exchanging client credentials for an access token and then uses that token for subsequent requests to the Blogs API.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly, POST /blogs/post-update.write, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors

You can connect Rankr to the Blogs API by creating a GHL app integration and granting access to the necessary scopes. Use API keys or OAuth tokens to authorize requests and pass them in the Authorization header. Start with a test environment to validate the connection. Rankr provides a visual editor to map fields and set up triggers so you don’t need to write code.
The available endpoints include blog posts, categories, authors, slug checks, and related update calls. You can retrieve and create posts, update existing posts, validate slugs, and pull category and author data as needed to enrich content in Rankr. Explore endpoints like POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors.

Yes. This integration is designed for no-code use, leveraging visual automations to connect endpoints and automate workflows without writing code.
Test endpoints in a staging environment, run end-to-end tests, and monitor status codes and responses. Use sample data to verify mappings and trigger behavior before going live.
If a slug already exists, use the slug-exists check at GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to determine conflicts, then update the slug or content accordingly and retry the publish.
