Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL credentials and the Rankr app, starting with the emails/builder scope to ensure safe read/write access.
Rankr uses OAuth 2.0 to securely obtain access to the GHL Blogs API, requiring a client ID, client secret, and user consent.
Core endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Rankr to auto-create or update an email in the Blogs API email builder.
Actions include creating email templates, scheduling sends, and updating content as posts change.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, slug, excerpt, content, author, category
Trigger when Rankr posts are updated to reflect new categories or author mappings in GHL.
Actions: fetch posts, map categories and authors, update tags and metadata in GHL.
GET /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, slug, category, author
Trigger when a new category or author is added in Rankr to create corresponding records in GHL.
Actions: create category entries and author records in the Blogs API.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: categoryId, slug, name; authorId, name
Automate workflows without writing a line of code, linking posts, emails, and scheduling in one place.
Speed time-to-value with ready-made endpoints and triggers that map to Rankr actions.
Maintain data consistency across emails, blogs, and social channels through synchronized streams.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields. Understanding each part helps build effective automations between Blogs API and Rankr.
A specific URL path that performs an action or retrieves data in the GHL Blogs API.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post, used in URLs and slug checks.
A callback URL that receives real-time updates from GHL when data changes.
The process of proving identity to access GHL resources, typically via OAuth or API keys.
Trigger a digest email whenever new posts are published in the Blogs API by Rankr.
Create social posts in Rankr when a new blog is published.
Tag subscribers based on post categories to tailor emails.
Generate a client ID and secret in GHL, then securely connect Rankr with those credentials.
Select the required endpoints and set up webhooks or triggers in Rankr to match your workflow.
Run test requests to verify data flows between Blogs API and Rankr.
The Blogs API endpoint list includes key paths such as GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, and GET /blogs/posts to pull posts. You’ll also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to manage taxonomy and authors. Testing endpoints with sample data helps ensure the flows work before going live. Start with read/write permissions on the builder endpoints to confirm you can create and modify content. As you scale, layer in additional endpoints for schedules and post updates.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 to grant Rankr access to the Blogs API. You’ll obtain a client ID and secret from GHL, authorize the Rankr app, and store tokens securely. For ongoing requests, refresh tokens before expiry and scope access to emails/builder.readonly as a safe starting point, expanding as needed for full write capabilities.
Post syncing typically relies on endpoints like GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/posts to update or create entries. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing, ensuring clean, non-duplicate posts across the system. Combine triggers from Rankr with these endpoints to automate updates.
No extensive coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code automation via GHL workflows and Rankr triggers. You mainly configure endpoints, webhooks, and data mappings. If you need advanced logic, light scripting can be added, but the core setup remains low/no-code.
Test API connections by running test requests in a staging environment. Validate authentication, endpoint responses, and data mappings. Check error logs for failed requests, verify rate limits, and adjust retries and timeouts to ensure stable data flow.
Yes. You can manage categories and authors via endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, plus corresponding creation or update endpoints. This enables consistent taxonomy across posts, emails, and customer-facing content.
Error logs and troubleshooting tips are available in both GHL and Rankr dashboards. Look for authentication failures, endpoint 404s/500s, and slug conflicts. Use test mode, verify scopes, and ensure webhooks are correctly configured to receive real-time updates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
