To connect Rankr with the Blogs API, generate an API key and authorize access with OAuth. Apply the required scopes for blogs and publishing to ensure secure, controlled access.
In Rankr, securely store your GHL Blogs API credentials and manage token lifecycles. Use encrypted storage and rotate keys periodically for continued security.

No coding is required. Rankr provides a visual UI to connect to the Blogs API using API keys and OAuth. The setup guides you through mappings, tests, and go-live steps. You can create and adjust posts with simple forms and real-time validation.
Essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and retrievals (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories). These form the core workflow for basic content publishing and management.
Yes. Use token-based authentication and rotate keys regularly. Store credentials securely in Rankr and enforce least-privilege access. Enable auditing to monitor credential use and access patterns.
Yes. Use draft or preview modes if available, and test in a staging environment before publishing to production. Preview helps verify formatting and metadata prior to live posts.
Slug conflicts are checked via the slug existence endpoint. If conflicts occur, adjust the slug during creation or rename the post to avoid collisions. Consider implementing a slug pattern to minimize conflicts going forward.
Rankr supports scheduling across time zones. Use publishDate fields and time zone mapping in the integration settings. Double-check server time settings to ensure correct publish timing.
Monitor API usage in the Rankr dashboard and review error logs. Enable alerts for failures and throttling and adjust rate limits as needed. Regular maintenance helps prevent outages and keeps publishing smooth.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
