Run tests to ensure data flows correctly between the Blogs API and your apps, then deploy the automation.
The Blogs API lets you read, create, update, and delete blog posts, manage categories, and handle authors. It enables automation of content workflows and syncing across apps without manual steps. You can connect this API to the Zapier App Connector to trigger actions on new or updated posts and to push content to other platforms.
To authorize, generate an API key in the GHL developer portal and supply it in the Authorization header of each request. In Zapier, add the Blogs API as a connected app and provide the same API key to establish a secure connection.
Essentials include GET /blogs/posts for retrieval, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/categories to list categories, and GET /blogs/authors to list authors. These endpoints cover the core blog management needs.
Yes. The API exposes endpoints to list and manage categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors). You can synchronize these with your CMS, newsletters, or marketing tools via Zapier.
Typical mappings include title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId for posts. You may also map postId for updates. Ensure date formats and category/author IDs align with your source data.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before creating or updating a post, preventing conflicts and ensuring clean URLs.
Endpoint reference and best practices can be found in the GHL API documentation and the post-connectivity guides for the Blogs API. The docs cover authentication, rate limits, and payload schemas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
