Elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and key fields used to create, update, and organize blog content through the GHL Blogs API with AlterEstate.
Application Programming Interface that enables communication between AlterEstate and the GHL Blogs API.
A specific URL path in the API that performs a defined action, such as creating or updating a blog post.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to generate human-readable and SEO-friendly URLs.
A grouping for posts that helps organize content by topic or theme within the Blogs API.
When a draft is saved in AlterEstate, automatically create a post in the Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts and populate fields like title, content, and slug.
Schedule posts in AlterEstate and push them to your blog at the specified time using date-triggered actions and POST /blogs/posts.
Automatically check and generate SEO-friendly slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating posts, and enrich with meta data.
Obtain API credentials from the Blogs API and configure them in AlterEstate. Use OAuth 2.0 or an API key with restricted scopes.
Map the endpoints you’ll use (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) to corresponding actions in AlterEstate.
Run tests to verify authentication and CRUD actions, then deploy the integration and monitor logs for performance.
No coding is required for most standard workflows. The integration uses pre-built actions and triggers to connect AlterEstate with the Blogs API. If you’re comfortable with basic configuration steps, you can set up the connection in minutes. For advanced automations, you may extend with custom data mappings within your Zapier or workflow tool.
Essential endpoints for core blogging include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug availability (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and listing categories/authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists, generate a new slug or modify the title to create a distinct URL. This helps avoid duplicates and SEO issues.
Yes. You can fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors, then map those results into your content creation process. This keeps metadata aligned across systems.
Start with a dry run using test posts and a sandbox environment. Validate authentication, perform a post creation, update, and slug check, and review responses. Once everything passes, switch to live mode and monitor activity.
Store credentials securely (e.g., secret manager). Rotate API keys on a regular schedule, enforce least-privilege scopes, and use encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all calls. Keep access logs and monitor for unusual activity.
Official API documentation and developer resources for the Blogs API provide endpoint details, field requirements, and example requests. You can also review the integration guides for AlterEstate to implement common workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
