Obtain an API key from the Blogs API developer portal and configure secure headers in Bannerbear to authorize requests. Store credentials safely in your app connector workspace and rotate keys regularly.
Bannerbear authentication relies on your account credentials to access templates and assets. Follow best practices to keep keys private and respect rate limits while building image automation.
GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new blog post is created via the Blogs API
Actions: pull post title, excerpt, and cover image data from Blogs API and render a Bannerbear template to produce a featured image; attach the generated image back to the post.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, excerpt, slug, imageUrl
Trigger: a blog post is scheduled for publication in Blogs API
Actions: generate or fetch Bannerbear visuals and attach to the scheduled post before publish
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, publishDate, imageUrl
Trigger: post content is updated in Blogs API
Actions: regenerate Bannerbear visuals to reflect updated title and content; update the post assets accordingly
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId

Create beautiful blog visuals without writing a single line of code.
Automate workflows by linking post data to image templates and syncing visuals with posts.
Scale content production across multiple channels quickly with repeatable templates.
Understanding the elements and processes helps you design reliable automations between the Blogs API and Bannerbear.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allow one app to talk to another.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function, like getting a list of posts.
Slug: a URL-friendly version of a title used in blog post URLs.
A callback URL that an API calls to notify your app of events.
Use post title, excerpt, and category to generate a unique header image in Bannerbear.
Create ready-to-share visuals for social channels whenever a post is published.
Regenerate artwork when post content is updated to reflect new info.
In Bannerbear design a template that accepts post title, excerpt, and imageUrl as inputs.
Add your API keys and connect webhooks if needed to receive post changes.
Test by creating a sample post and verifying the Bannerbear image is generated and attached.
The Blogs API and Bannerbear integration lets you automate image generation for blog posts. You connect your post data to an image template so visuals are created and attached automatically when you publish or update a post. This enables consistent, on-brand visuals without manual design work. By combining data retrieval from the Blogs API with Bannerbear’s templating, you can scale content visuals across your site and social channels.
No heavy coding is required if your app connector provides prebuilt actions and triggers. You will need to configure authentication, map post fields to image template inputs, and set up basic workflows. The no-code approach keeps setup approachable while delivering powerful automation between services.
Key endpoints typically include creating and updating posts, retrieving post data, and managing categories and authors. You may also use slug checks to prevent duplicates and endpoints to fetch related metadata. The exact endpoints depend on the Blogs API you are integrating with.
Use API keys or OAuth tokens as provided by the Blogs API. Store credentials securely in your connector, use HTTPS, and rotate keys periodically. Implement rate-limit handling and secure header practices to protect sensitive data.
Yes. Trigger a re-generation of visuals when post content or title changes and re-attach updated images to the post. This keeps visuals aligned with the latest post content without manual edits.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Plan accordingly with retries and exponential backoff to gracefully handle throttling. Review the Blogs API docs for exact limits and best practices.
In your connector dashboard you can monitor connection status, review recent runs, and retry failed steps. Webhooks can keep you informed about post changes in real time.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
