The Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 tokens. Start by creating a GHL developer application to obtain your clientId and clientSecret, then exchange for an access token to authorize requests.
Zapier’s app connector uses OAuth 2.0 or API key methods. Configure the chosen method in the Zapier developer dashboard and securely store credentials in the app vault.
Common endpoints for Blogs API include: GET /blogs/posts to retrieve posts, POST /blogs/posts to create a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, GET /blogs/categories to list categories, and GET /blogs/authors to list authors. Use these endpoints to map data, automate publishing, and keep content in sync across connected apps.
Trigger: New blog post draft identified in Blogs API; Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create and publish the post in the connected system.
Map fields such as title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId; optionally validate slug with the slug check endpoint before publishing.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger: Post updated in Blogs API; Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the post in target systems.
Map postId, title, content, slug, and publishDate; enable scheduling and staggered publication across channels.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, publishDate
Trigger: Check if a slug exists before publishing; Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.

This glossary covers endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and common workflow concepts to help you build with confidence.
A defined URL and HTTP method used to perform a specific operation in the Blogs API.
An HTTP method used to create or update a resource in the API.
An HTTP method used to retrieve data without altering server state.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title, used in the post URL.
Template your blog content using CRM data and publish to your Blogs API with one click.
Tag posts with categories and route to your CMS, newsletter, or social channels.
Sync authors from Blogs API to your CMS and schedule publications for optimal reach.
In GHL, create a new developer app to obtain clientId and clientSecret, then configure in Zapier.
Select endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, etc.) and map data fields between Blogs API and Zapier.
Run tests, review logs, and refine mappings before going live.
No extensive coding is required to use this integration. Zapier provides visual builders to set up triggers and actions, connect your blogs data, and automate workflows. For advanced users, you can create custom mappings and filters to tailor the data flow. Start with simple publish/update automations and expand as needed.
Absolutely. You can configure triggers to publish posts automatically when new content is ready in your CRM or content calendar. Schedule publications and push updates across connected apps, ensuring consistency and timeliness without manual steps.
Authentication is handled using OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, depending on the setup. Store credentials securely in the Zapier app vault and follow the recommended rotation and scoping practices to minimize exposure.
The Blogs API enforces rate limits to protect stability. Implement exponential backoff in your flows, monitor quota usage, and stagger heavy requests to avoid hitting limits during peak times.
Use the slug existence endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and keeps your site SEO-friendly.
Yes. You can fetch authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map that data into your CMS or CRM workflows for rich content context and routing.
APIs evolve. If an endpoint changes, keep an eye on versioning notes and adjust mappings in Zapier. Consider setting up tests and alerts to catch breaking changes early.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
