Automate content workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Maintain consistency across posts, categories, and authors with centralized automation.
Speed up publishing and updates with triggers, actions, and reliable endpoints.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, and actions that enable smooth data flow between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
An API is a defined interface that lets two applications communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL in an API that exposes a function, such as retrieving posts.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post in a readable URL.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to API resources.
Trigger on new drafts in your CMS to automatically publish blog entries via POST /blogs/posts.
Automatically push new blog posts to the website and notify subscribers using webhook actions.
Validate and normalize slugs to avoid duplicates and broken links.
Obtain an API key and authorize access to the required endpoints for your automation needs.
Select endpoints to expose in the Zapier app and map fields to your data model.
Run tests, confirm data flow, and deploy your automation to production.
The primary endpoint for creating posts is POST /blogs/posts. You provide fields like title, content, slug, and author_id in the request body. After creation, you can use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the post as needed. If you need to retrieve posts, use GET /blogs/posts. For visibility, slugs help ensure clean URLs and SEO-friendly paths.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and conflicts. If the slug exists, you can choose a different slug or update the existing post accordingly.
Access to blog content typically requires a scope that includes read/write permissions for blog endpoints. Ensure your API key is configured with the appropriate scopes, such as blogs/post-write or blogs/list endpoints, to perform your automation tasks.
Rate limits depend on your plan and endpoint tier. Plan for bursts during publishing campaigns and implement retry logic with exponential backoff. If you hit limits, consider spreading requests or upgrading your plan.
Authenticate by passing your API key in request headers and ensuring the app connector stores tokens securely. The app handles token refresh, while you manage endpoint access and permission scopes.
Yes. You can fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints help populate dropdowns, metadata fields, and author/category assignments in your automation workflows.
If a request fails, check API keys and scopes, verify endpoint paths, and review error messages. Ensure the endpoint is enabled in your app configuration and confirm network connectivity. Retry failed requests with appropriate backoff.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
